The Cloud, Aerosol, and Refractive Index Experiment (CARE) is an airborne in situ instrument suite operated by the University of Vienna. It consists of three instruments: an Optical Particle AnaLyzer (OPAL), a Cloud, Aerosol, and Precipitation Spectrometer (CAPS), and a Precipitation Imaging Probe (PIP). CARE provides measurements of particle size distributions for aerosol and cloud particles in the 0.5 μm to 6.2 mm size range at a sampling frequency of 1 Hz. It also provides information about particle shape and cloud phase and allows for refractive index retrievals of single particles in the 0.5 to 2 μm size range.
