4 COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 2DS and CIP Optical Array Probes Heymsfield and Parrish 1978, JAM

5 COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 2DS and CIP Optical Array Probes CIP, -11°C, convective region within frontal cloud

6 COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 2DS and CIP Optical Array Probes 2DS, -13°C, frontal cloud

8 Data processing COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 DyDy DxDx D mean = 0.5 * (D y + D x ) Sample volume We use “Centre In” method Increases sample volume of large particles compared to “All-In” Determination of particle size Heymfield and Parrish 1978

9 “Centre-In” vs “All-in” COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 Heymfield and Parrish 1978 All-In No end diodes activated Entire particle is imaged Unambigous particle size Most large particle rejected Centre-In Predict size for partially imaged particles Assumptions on particle shape/symmetry Increased sample volume for larger particles

10 Particle shape analysis COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 Circularity = Perimeter 2 / (4 * Pi * Area) 1 for a perfect circle, >1 for non-circular By setting a suitable threshold of shape factor, we get an estimate of ice particle concentrations However, there is no perfect threshold, and we frequently see “miss-classification”. We are working to improve/quantify this. Determination of particle shape

11 Sampling artefacts COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 Spurious counts can be recorded due to shattering/splashing of ice/liquid particle on instrument tips The use of inter-arrival time and image processing can remove this bias. Can remove some “good” particles. New anti-shatter tips greatly reduce the shattering problem.

Channel 2 will be uploaded by June (3)Due to error in 2DS sample volume, all 2DS concentrations are a factor of 2 too high

14 Example CPI images COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014

15 Revise 2DS dataset to correct for Svol error Finish exporting of CPI images Improve particle classification for OAP probes Any additional data products required? CAS/SID analysis? COPE meeting - Leeds - April 2014 To do…..
