Scientists in the DROPDATA network rely heavily on collaboration, however a wide range of instruments is available for droplet size measurement, often making comparisons between readings difficult to interpret. Relatively simple measures, such as transformation between volumetric and numerical distributions between size classes can be helpful, and we have been developing tools such as DROPDATA.exe and a standardised data format.
Much technical support is given by ACIS, a small R&D company based in Devon, with many years' experience of working with computers and scientific equipment both in the UK and Developing countries. In addition to resolving technical problems by appropriate hands-on training, they also perform commissioned Research and Development resulting in patented solutions where appropriate. Staff are also available to advise and assist development agencies on strategies for training technical and research staff in research establishments. Key activities include:
