This multipurpose particle spectrometer is five instruments packaged into a single, integrated measurement system that provides aerosol particle and cloud hydrometeor size distributions from 2 to 50 µm, precipitation size distributions from 25 µm to 1550 µm, liquid water content from 0.05 to 3 g/m³ and aircraft velocity, atmospheric temperature and pressure. This instrument replaces PMS Inc.'s FSSP-100, FSSP-300, 2D-C, 2D-P and KLWC and can be used in many applications, including weather modification, aircraft icing (see below), hurricane and storm research, and agricultural and industrial spray characterization.

With its comprehensive particle measurement capabilities, the CCP exemplifies the best in airborne particle instrumentation. Read about why the CCP is ideal for icing studies.
