Radiometrics Microwave Radiometer Profiler Southwest Granite (DPG)

Project:

MATERHORN-X

Summary

This dataset contains the Radiometrics Microwave Radiometer Profiler data from the Dugway Proving Ground located at the Southwest of Granite Site. Data was collected during the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations (MATERHORN-X) program. This dataset was not subject to any quality control or processing. It has been provided in its original form. The time stamps are based off of UTC time for all the instruments for the MATERHORN-X data, unless it was stated otherwise.

Refer to following when ordering data and looking at data files.

GPS = Global Positioning Satellite Data, Met = meteorological observations, Liq = cloud liquid water content, T_K = temperature in Kelvins, Vap = tropospheric water vapor, ColInt = column integrated liquid and vapor, RH = Relative Humidity,

15N = vertical profile oriented at 15 degrees from vertical to the north, 15S = vertical profile oriented at 15 degrees from vertical to the South, 15Avg = average of the 15N and 15S profiles, Zen = vertical profile

Please refer to the readme file for more information.
