The FM120 is an in-situ optical cloud water sampling instrument that gives us information about the cloud water content and droplet sizes inside of the clouds that we are sampling in, as well as aerosol concentrations in clear conditions. Knowledge of the cloud properties is important to linking the aerosol types and concentrations that we measure in cloud residuals to the cloud’s properties, which ultimately determine how they interact with weather and climate.
