==== Jeju-2024 Cloud Probe Workshop Simulations README====

The files in this folder contain synthetic Optical Array Probe (OAP) data for the Workshop on Evaluation of Cloud Probe Processing Software, in Jeju, South Korea from July 12-13, 2024.

There are three sets of files available: one for simulated round drops, one for simulated columns with a 3:1 aspect ratio, and one with a mix of irregular ice shapes.   Each set of files has been simulated for four instruments:

|Probe        | Pixel Resolution (μm) | Number of Diodes | Arm Width (cm) | Laser Wavelength (nm) |
| SPEC 2D-S   | 10                    | 128              | 6.3       | 785                          |
| SPEC HVPS-3 | 150          | 128              | 16.25     |785           |
| DMT CAPS-CIP| 25           | 64               | 10.0      |658           |
| DMT PIP     | 100          | 64               | 26.0      |658           |

===== Information from Readme File =====

All files are in the native raw data format for each instrument, with SPEC format for the 2D-S and HVPS-3, and DMT PADS format for the CAPS-CIP and PIP.  Following the usual conventions, SPEC-formatted data have file names baseYYMMDDHHMMSS.2DS[HVPS], and DMT-formatted data have file names Imagefile_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.CAPS[PIP].

Each simulation contains 60 seconds of a single particle size distribution, starting at midnight (00:00:00) on January 1st, 2010.  Particles have been positioned randomly between the arms and across the array of the probe, and their sizes have been defined by maximum dimension from a circle fit.  The true air speed is 100 m/s for all simulations.
