This dataset contains the processed and raw data collected with the Backscatter Cloud Probe with Polarization Detection during the HALO-AC³ campaign in March and April 2022 with the Polar 6 Aircraft out of Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The dataset contains two kinds of data. Data to which no inversion procedure has been applied and data to which the inversion procedure has been applied. The inversion procedure is applied to account for an uneven intensity of the laser beam across the sample area and resulting undersizing effects. The inversion procedure has been discussed in Lucke et al. (2023) (doi.org/10.4271/2023-01-1485) and Beswick et al. (2014) (doi.org/10.5194/amt-7-1443-2014). All quantities which carry the suffix inv are based on the inverted data, all other properties are not. It should be noted, that the necessity of the inversion procedure remains unclear (see the previously mentioned publications). The inversion procedure could only be applied when more than 2000 particles were present over a 5 second ... : During RF03 there was a malfunction with the BCPD, hence no data is available for that flight. ...
