N2 - Characteristics of supercooled large drop (SLD, diameters > 50 μm) size distributions measured from a research aircraft are examined for characteristics that can be exploited for improved remote icing detection. Typical concentrations of drops, liquid water contents, drop sizes and derived quantities such as spectral shape parameters and collection efficiencyadjusted liquid water contents are described. Ranges of these parameters, and their relation to one another, are also explored. Some of the implications of the findings for remote sensors, including radars and radiometers, are examined.
