Full description

Raw, unprocessed return signal from the Bureau of Meteorology's W-band cloud radar located at Davis, Antarctica. W-band (95GHz) cloud radar reflectivity collected by the Bureau of Meteorology’s BASTA cloud radar, located adjacent to the CPC Building.

One netCDF file is saved every minute at four different vertical resolutions: 12.5m, 25m, 100m and 200m. One vertical profile is recorded every 10 seconds.

The files contain the raw reflectivity and raw velocity, thus require calibration prior to use.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: Data are raw and require calibration prior to use.

Notes

Purpose
The cloud radar provides the time-series of cloud reflectivity and in-cloud vertical velocity from near the surface up to the upper troposphere.

Data time period: 2018-11-11 to 2019-02-05
