The Precipitation and Imaging Probe (PIP) is an airborne optical spectrometer manufactured by Droplet Measurement Technologies. It measures the size and shape of particles in the size range of 100-6200 μm. It provides 2-dimensional imagery with a pixel resolution of 100 μm. PIP operates at the 660 nm wavelength and has a typical sampling frequency of 1 second. It has a sample area of 260 mm x 6.2 mm and can operate at airspeeds of 10-200 meters per second.
