Effective Ice Particle Densities Derived from Aircraft Data

Heymsfield et al uses aircraft data to derive effective ice particle densities. This density is defined as the ice particle mass divided by the volume of an equivalent diameter sphere. The remote values are critical for modeling and remote sensing applications.
