Abstract: During the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Ocean and the Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program we measured cloud and aerosol particles aboard the NASA DC-8 over the warm pool of the western Pacific. Instruments on the aircraft included a condensation nuclei counter, optical particle counters, two-dimensional shadow probes and an ice crystal replicator. The size range covered by these instruments was from =0.01 micron to 6.4 mm diameter; particle shapes were determined for particles of sizes D greater than 1 micron.
