Description
The Palas cloud droplet analyzer for cloud aerosols is a high-resolution optical aerosol spectrometer optimized for measuring the size distribution and number concentration of cloud aerosols such as droplets and ice crystals. Using the latest optical light scattering technology single particles and high-resolution components such as droplets and ice crystals can be distinguished. The same optical sensor technology is also used in research applications from KIT for Ice Nucleation Studies at AIDA -Chamber. Additionally, the cloud water content as well as mean droplet diameter can be reported.
