Dugway Proving Grounds Ceilometer Data at Baker, Delta and Tower Grid Sites

Project:

MATERHORN-X

Summary

This dataset contains the ceilometer data from the Dugway Proving Grounds measured at the Baker, Delta and Tower Grid sites in Utah collected during the Mountain Terrain Atmospheric Modeling and Observations Field Experimental Component (MATERHORN-X) campaign. The Baker and Delta sites' data collection occurred from 24 April 2013 to 5 June 2014, and the Tower Grid site collection lasted from 24 April 2013 to 26 May 2013. The time stamps are based off of UTC time for all the instruments for the MATERHORN-X data, unless it was stated otherwise. Files are the original data and have not been quality controlled. The file format is .txt, and the files been compressed and provided as zip files. Please refer to the readme for more information.
