The Axial Cycle Cloud-water Collector (AC3) is an in situ airborne cloud probe that is part of the Langley Aerosol Research Group Experiment (LARGE) instrument suite. It collects samples of liquid cloud water by using inertial separation to remove cloud droplets from the airflow. These droplets are collected and later used for chemical analysis using techniques such as ion chromatography. A shutter is used to prevent contamination from aerosols.
