2.0.3 spase://SMWG/Instrument/AIM/CDE AIM Cosmic Dust Experiment 2019-05-05T12:34:56Z The Cosmic Dust Experiment (CDE) measures inflowing cosmic dust as a contributor to Polar Mesospheric Clouds. CDE has a sensor area of about 0.1 m^2, and can detect particles greater than about 1 micron in radius, by recording impact-generated signals on thin, permanently polarized Polyvinylidene Fluoride films. Twelve detectors face the zenith, while two are shielded and face down for background noise measurements. spase://SMWG/Person/Mihaly.Horanyi PrincipalInvestigator AIM/CDE web page at Hampton U. http://aim.hamptonu.edu/instrmt/cde.html AIM instrument descriptions at LASP http://aim.hamptonu.edu/instrmt/cde.html Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics Article https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1364682608002204 Detailed information about the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission and the Cosmic Dust Experiment (CDE).
