ETL Radar-Lidar 10-min Cloud Physical Properties [Shupe, M., J. Intrieri, T. Uttal]

Project:

Summary

Data set combines radar, lidar, and radiosonde measurements to give a comprehensive view of cloud boundaries, locations, and temperatures for the SHEBA annual cycle. Information includes: best estimated low cloud base and high cloud top, total cloud thickness, total number of cloud layers, the presence and location of liquid in the atmospheric column and temperatures at all relevant heights.
