The Water Isotope System for Precipitation and Entrainment Research (WISPER) is an in situ airborne instrument that measures condensed water content and water vapor. It consists of two inlets, with the primary inlet being a counterflow virtual impactor (CVI) that collects air samples. Picarro cavity ringdown laser spectrometers (CRDS) measure condensed water and water vapor within the air samples. WISPER can also provide water vapor isotopic abundances. It has a typical sampling frequency of 1 second.
