WesCon: humidity profiles, liquid water paths and integrated water vapour measurement from the Met Office RPG Humpro microwave radiometer at Airfield Camp, Netheravon, v1.0 (20230419-20230919)

Data from the Met Office Observation-based research RPG Humpro profiling microwave radiometer deployed at Netheravon, Wiltshire (51.241°N, -1.777°W, 120 m amsl) in southern England during the summer of 2023. Netheravon formed a supersite for the Wessex Summertime Convection Experiment (WesCon)/WesCon - Observing the Evolving Structures of Turbulence (WOEST) field campaign. The dataset includes retrieved humidity profiles in addition to the liquid water paths and integrated water vapour paths using brightness temperatures measured at seven microwave frequencies between 22.24 and 31.4 GHz (this band in general being sensitive to water vapour and cloud). The liquid and vapour water path retrievals used a supplied neural network algorithm (which is trained with radiosonde data using a radiative transfer scheme). Two archived files are available, based on the time series (water vapour and liquid water) and profile (humidity) data.

To ensure optimal traceability and transparency of data, comprehensive metadata is included.
