“…1b). This instrument was developed by Knollenberg (1976) to measure particles in a size range between 2 and 47 µm in diameter and is a predecessor of the CCP-CDP (Brenguier et al, 2013). Because the FSSP has neither mounted tips nor the feasibility to exclude shattered particles by software algorithms, here it was mainly used for testing purposes and as a cloud indicator during the campaign.…”

“…(More thorough discussions on this topic, along with comprehensive bibliographies, may be found in Brenguier et al (2013) and in Baumgardner et al (2017).) The earliest cloud and precipitation particle probes were of the impactor type (Brenguier et al, 2013). Modern examples include the Video Ice Particle Sampler (VIPS; Heymsfield and McFarquhar, 1996), designed to detect particles in the range 5-200 µm.…”

“…The basic operating principle is thus: cloud and precipitation particles impact upon a substrate, leaving an imprint (or leaving the particle itself) to be replicated (in the case of the VIPS, by digital imaging) and analyzed. This type of probe is particularly useful for imaging the smallest ice crystals (Baumgardner et al, 2011;Brenguier et al, 2013).…”

“…The units of a PSD are number of particles per unit volume per unit size. Thus, after a PSD probe counts the particles that pass through its sample area, each particle is assigned a size as well as an estimate of the sample volume from which it was drawn (Brenguier et al, 2013). Uncertainty in any of these PSD components results in uncertain PSD estimates.…”

Abstract. This paper addresses two straightforward questions. First, how similar are the statistics of cirrus particle size distribution (PSD) datasets collected using the TwoDimensional Stereo (2D-S) probe to cirrus PSD datasets collected using older Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) 2-D Cloud (2DC) and 2-D Precipitation (2DP) probes? Second, how similar are the datasets when shatter-correcting postprocessing is applied to the 2DC datasets? To answer these questions, a database of measured and parameterized cirrus PSDs -constructed from measurements taken during the Small Particles in Cirrus (SPARTICUS); Mid-latitude Airborne Cirrus Properties Experiment (MACPEX); and Tropical Composition, Cloud, and Climate Coupling (TC 4 ) flight campaigns -is used.Bulk cloud quantities are computed from the 2D-S database in three ways: first, directly from the 2D-S data; second, by applying the 2D-S data to ice PSD parameterizations developed using sets of cirrus measurements collected using the older PMS probes; and third, by applying the 2D-S data to a similar parameterization developed using the 2D-S data themselves. This is done so that measurements of the same cloud volumes by parameterized versions of the 2DC and 2D-S can be compared with one another. It is thereby seen -given the same cloud field and given the same assumptions concerning ice crystal cross-sectional area, density, and radar cross section -that the parameterized 2D-S and the parameterized 2DC predict similar distributions of inferred shortwave extinction coefficient, ice water content, and 94 GHz radar reflectivity. However, the parameterization of the 2DC based on uncorrected data predicts a statistically significantly higher number of total ice crystals and a larger ratio of small ice crystals to large ice crystals than does the parameterized 2D-S. The 2DC parameterization based on shatter-corrected data also predicts statistically different numbers of ice crystals than does the parameterized 2D-S, but the comparison between the two is nevertheless more favorable. It is concluded that the older datasets continue to be useful for scientific purposes, with certain caveats, and that continuing field investigations of cirrus with more modern probes is desirable.
