The files in this directory constitute composites of the CDP, CIPg and BAHAMAS measurements collected by the HALO aircraft during the ACRIDICON-CHUVA campaign. 

The original files can be found at the HALO database (https://doi.org/10.5065/d6mk6b4k)*, according to the dataset and release numbers in the table below:

		BAHAMAS		CDP		CIPg

AC7		dataset 1390	dataset 2968	dataset 2956
		release 1	release 2	release 3

AC9		dataset 1392	dataset 2970	dataset 2958
		release 1	release 2	release 3

AC12		dataset 1394	dataset 2973	dataset 2961
		release 2	release 2	release 3

AC13		dataset 1395	dataset 2995	dataset 2996
		release 1	release 2	release 2

AC18		dataset 2814	dataset 2976	dataset 2964
		release 1	release 2	release 3

AC19		dataset 2815	dataset 2977	dataset 2965
		release 1	release 2	release 3

*Some filters applied during standard quality control procedures resulted in significant loss of information for the vertical velocity measurements 
(BAHAMAS) available in the HALO database. For that reason, the vertical velocity measurements included in these composites correspond to an earlier
version of the BAHAMAS data that is not currently available in the HALO database. Using this vertical velocity data was considered appropriate for 
the purpose of our study (i.e., using only the sign of the vertical velocity inside the clouds), but is not recommended in principle for other applications.
