DMT - Model BCPD -Back-scatter Cloud Probe with Polarization Detection
The BCPD measures cloud droplet size distributions, which are then used to derive the total number concentrations, liquid water content (LWC), median volume diameter (MVD), and effective diameter (ED). The BCPD’s non-intrusive optical housing allows use in a range of ground-based or airborne applications with no contamination from ice crystal shattering and no airflow distortion.
Discriminate between ice and water particles with the BCPD’s polarization feature. For example, use the BCPD to detect when an aircraft encounters abnormally high concentrations of ice crystals.
Minimize airflow disturbance and enable undisturbed particle measurement with the BCPD’s aerodynamic design. Mount the BCPD easily on aircraft, even when space is at a premium.
Monitor multiple output variables like total particles, average transit time, over-range particles, and various probe health indicators. Get particle classification by size in histogram form.
Depend on automatic correction for drifts in polarization signals through the dynamic thresholding feature.
Program the instrument`s sample rate and size bin thresholds. Plus, get size distributions accumulated in the probe, with serial transmission to a computer via any standard RS-422 communications port.
