SAIL-Net CloudPuck CCN Data

SAIL-Net is a DOE funded project in the East River Watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado with the goal of advancing our understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions in complex, mountainous regions. Through the deployment of a network of six low cost microphysics nodes in Fall 2021 in the same domain at the SAIL campaign, SAIL-Net provides data on aerosol size distributions, cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), and ice nucleations particles (INP). This network enables the investigation of small-scale variations in complex terrain.This specific dataset provides the cleaned data recorded from the CloudPuck, an in house instrument made by Handix Scientific that counts CCN concentrations. The CloudPuck was deployed at the sites for the summer/fall of 2022 before winter conditions were too harsh to maintain the instrument. For more information on the the CloudPuck or how the raw data are processed, see the read me.

SAIL-Net是一项由美国能源部（Department of Energy, DOE）资助的项目，选址于科罗拉多州克雷斯特德比特附近的东河流域，旨在深化对复杂山区气溶胶-云相互作用机制的认知。2021年秋季，研究团队在SAIL外场试验的同一研究区域内，布设了由6个低成本微物理观测节点组成的观测网络。SAIL-Net可提供气溶胶粒径分布、云凝结核（cloud condensation nuclei, CCN）以及冰核粒子（ice nucleations particles, INP）相关数据，该网络能够支持复杂地形下小尺度变化特征的相关研究。
本数据集包含Handix Scientific公司自研的CloudPuck仪器采集的经清洗的洁净数据，该仪器用于计数云凝结核浓度。2022年夏秋两季，CloudPuck被部署于各观测站点，直至冬季环境过于恶劣无法继续维护该仪器为止。若需了解CloudPuck的更多信息或原始数据的处理流程，请参阅README文档。
