• Aerosol: number, size distr., extinction, scattering (cavity ring-down), absorption (photoacoustic) hygroscopicity, aerosol optical depth
• Gases: Water vapor
• Cloud: liquid water, droplet size distribution, CCN
• Radiation: solar and IR, up and downwelling, broadband and spectral
• Stabilized platform
• Flew 60.6 flight hours during 16 flights on 15 days
