Airborne aerosol and cloud particle measurements are important to extend our knowledge of their distribution, properties, and interactions over the vertical extent of the atmosphere. In principle, a broad range of platforms can be used for atmospheric measurements. These range from fixed tethered balloons (Siebert et al. 2003, for example) slow-speed platforms such as kites (Baslet, Jensen, and Frehlich 1998; Muschinski et al. 2001) and balloons (Deshlet et al. 2003), to high-speed aircraft or rockets (Rapp et al. 2010). While the higher speed aircraft are capable of sampling large areas, the slower speed platforms have their advantages in lower costs, higher spatial sampling resolutions, and less airflow distortion by the platform. The effect of air compressibility and associated changes in the air temperature (evaporation and condensation) must be considered for air flows with Mach numbers larger than 0.3. The particle stopping distance, which is important for determining the impaction of particles onto a surface or the deviation of the aspiration efficiency of an inlet system from unity, increases linearly with the air velocity. Hence, aerosol and cloud particle measurements from high-speed aircraft are most susceptible to sampling artifacts. Most of the limited literature dealing with airborne aerosol and cloud sampling refer to aircraft platforms; consequently, we also focus here on aircraft. However, most of the described effects are of relevance for other airborne platforms too. Atmospheric research aircraft deploy a great variety of sensors to measure atmospheric state parameters (temperature, pressure, and altitude), gas-phase constituents, and particles. For all those measurements, especially for aerosol and cloud particles, it is fundamental to have an air sample representative of the free stream atmospheric environment. However, appropriate air sampling from aircraft is a challenge, because air entering a sampling inlet or sensor can be influenced by the aircraft itself or by the sampling device (Wendisch et al. 2004). Movement of air around the aircraft fuselage can affect not only the airflow speed and direction but also the concentrations of various atmospheric components, especially particles.
