DATASET IDENTIFICATION ------------------------ - DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.16904/envidat.140 - URL: https://www.envidat.ch/dataset/disdrometer_laret TITLE ------- Disdrometer Data Laret PUBLICATION ------------- EnviDat, 2020 AUTHORS --------- - Daniel Wolfensberger (EPFL) KEYWORDS ---------- - DISDROMETER - HYDROMETEORS - PRECIPITATION - RACLETS - VISIBILITY ABSTRACT ---------- A laser optical disdrometer (Parsivel² , OTT Hydromet) was used to measure hydrometeors by extinction when passing a laser beam. The instrument can classify eight different kinds of precipitation, including rain, hail, snow, drizzle, and hybrid forms. The dataset contains information on precipitation amount and type for the period of February 7 to March 29 2019 in Laret. DATES ------- - Collected: 2019-02-08 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ------------------ The following institutions contributed to finance this dataset: - EPFL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ------------------------ - Version: 1.0 - Type: dataset (dataset) - Language: en - License: odc-odbl - Location: undefined DATA RESOURCES ---------------- - Disdrometer Data Laret (application/zip): The zip folder contains one netCDF file per day for Laret from February 7 to March 29 2019 with a temporal resolution of 30 seconds (time in UTC). The naming convention for the files is Laret_YYYYMMDD.nc and the files include the following: characteristics of hydrometeors (e.g. diameter, fall velocity, amount per diameter class,...), precipitation rate, radar reflectivity, visibility range, weather codes and instrument performance.
