Cloud droplet concentration (Nd), effective radius (reff) and liquid water content (LWC) measured by a DMT CAPS and an SEA WCM-2000 of wintertime low-altitude clouds over the Southern Ocean (SO) are presented for 20 flights taken over three years (June – October, 2013 - 2015). Such clouds have been...
