WCM-2000 Multi Element Water Content System

The SEA Model WCM-2000 Multi Element Water Content System (WCM-2000) is an in situ airborne sensor manufactured by Science Engineering Associates (SEA), Inc. It directly measures liquid water content (LWC) and total water content (TWC) within clouds. It can also be used to derive ice water content (IWC). WCM-2000 measures LWC and TWC in the range of 0 to 10 grams per cubic meter. It has a typical data rate of 1 Hz.
