Uncertainties and Limitations of the FCDP measurements during ATTREX 2011 Sara Lance Presented at the ATTREX Science Meeting Boulder, CO June 2012

FCDP – Fast Cloud Droplet Probe Counts individual particles according to scattering signal – Slightly Larger sample volume during ATTREX for better counting statistics in sub-visible cirrus Sizes particles using pulse height analysis. Less precise for ice particles, due to – Variable refractive index – Non-spherical shape Ability to count small ice particles – Shattering of large ice particles will artificially enhance the concentration – Do our best to account for that, shattering removal algorithm – We verify this by comparing to other in-situ observations (FFSSP and 2D-S) Aerosol contribution to measured concentrations is minimal

Fast-CDP Knife edge tips to reduce artifacts cause by large ice particles shattering

Statistical Sampling of Ice Particles by the FCDP Ice concentrations typically much lower than cloud drop concentrations Options for improving sampling statistics – Use a larger sample area – Average over longer time period (longer distance)
