Title: HISCALE: Best Estimate Aerosol Size Distribution by airborne measurements

Abstract

The data were collected during the Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE, http://www.arm.gov/campaigns/aaf2016hiscale) field campaign as part of ARM Aerial Facility (AAF) deployment. The ARM Aerial Facility Gulfstream-1 was deployed at Bartlesville, OK, for two intensive observation periods from April 23 through May 22 and from August 27 through September 25, 2016. The G-1 aircraft performed 38 (17+21) research flights over the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Atmospheric Observatory to measure atmospheric turbulence, cloud water content and drop size distributions, aerosol precursor gases, aerosol chemical composition and size distributions. The current data set presents Best Estimate Aerosol Size Distribution: a merged aerosol size distribution composed of the data from 4 sensors: two aerosol spectrometers (FIMS and PCASP) and two cloud probes (CAS and FCDP). Aerosol chemical composition, measured by the Aerodyne High Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS), was used to estimate aerosol refractive index (RI) required for correction of the equivalent optical size into geometric size
