IDRA weather radar measurements - day 2013-05-25

Radar range: standard. Max rain level: moderate rain. Parent item: IDRA weather radar measurements - month 2013-05 Measuring instrument: IDRA atmospheric radar in CESAR observatory, Cabauw IRCTR has built a high resolution radar system, IDRA (IRCTR Drizzle Radar), aimed at the detailed observation of the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and drizzle. The system was placed at the end of August 2007 on top of a 213 m high meteorological tower in the CESAR (Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research) observatory in Cabauw, The Netherlands. This location has several advantages: In the first place, an increased sensitivity due to the reduction of the influence of ground clutter. Secondly, it allows direct observation of the horizontal distribution of low level clouds and fog. Finally, the presence of other instruments in the vicinity enhances the understanding of the physical processes in the atmosphere by synergistically combining their measurements. Data from other instruments at CESAR are available at {http://www.cesar-database.nl}. IDRA provides the horizontal distribution of reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity, Doppler spectrum width and polarimetric parameters like differential reflectivity, linear depolarization ratio or specific differential phase. The data collected is freely available to the scientific community.

雷达量程：标准量程。最大降雨等级：中雨。父数据集：IDRA气象雷达观测数据——2013年5月。
测量仪器：位于荷兰卡堡CESAR（卡堡大气研究实验站点，Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research）观测台的IDRA大气雷达。
IRCTR搭建了一套高分辨率雷达系统IDRA（IRCTR毛毛雨雷达，IRCTR Drizzle Radar），旨在精细化观测降雨与毛毛雨的时空分布特征。该系统于2007年8月底部署在荷兰卡堡CESAR观测台内一座213米高的气象铁塔顶部。
该选址具备多项优势：其一，地面杂波影响得以削弱，从而提升观测灵敏度；其二，可直接观测低层云与雾的水平分布特征；其三，台站周边配备的其他观测仪器可通过协同融合多源观测数据，助力研究者深入解析大气物理过程。
CESAR观测台其他仪器的观测数据可通过网址{http://www.cesar-database.nl}获取。
IDRA雷达可提供反射率、平均多普勒速度、多普勒谱宽等参数，以及差分反射率、线性退极化比、比差分相位等偏振参量的水平分布数据。
本数据集所收录的观测数据面向科研群体免费开放共享。
