Hawkeye Combination Cloud Particle Probe

The Hawkeye Combination Cloud Particle Probe is a combination of four cloud probes. The first probe is the Fast Cloud Droplet Probe (FCDP) which records individual particle statistics and digitizes waveforms. The second and third probes are 10-µm channel and 50-µm channel 2D-S probes. The fourth probe is a 400 frame per second Cloud Particle Imager (CPI). The Hawkeye probe was initially developed to fly on the NASA Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
