Short summary
In order to gain a better understanding on the impact of entrainment on cloud droplet size distributions, water droplets were sprayed into the mixing plane of a turbulent wind tunnel, where two separately conditioned air streams are combined. One air stream resembling 'in cloud' conditions (with relative humidity close to saturation) and one air stream resembling 'out of cloud' conditions, which are dryer and warmer. The paper describes the data set and outlines future use examples.
