A statistical comparison of cirrus particle size distributions measured using the 2-D stereo probe during the TC<sup>4</sup>, SPARTICUS, and MACPEX flight campaigns with historical cirrus datasets

This paper addresses two straightforward questions. First, how similar are the statistics of cirrus particle size distribution (PSD) datasets collected using the Two-Dimensional Stereo (2D-S) probe to cirrus PSD datasets collected using older Particle Measuring Systems (PMS) 2-D Cloud (2DC) and 2...
