WesCon: precipitation measurements from the Met Office Thies disdrometer at Airfield Camp, Netheravon, v1.0 (20230419-20230919)

Precipitation measurements from the Met Office Thies disdrometer 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 Thies laser disdrometer is a laser optical device used for the measurement of diameter and fall velocity of hydrometeors. From such measurements, it is possible to classify different types of precipitation, such as drizzle, rain, hail, snow, and mixed precipitation, quantify precipitation in a time interval, and derive size and velocity joint distribution. Thies laser disdrometer can in addition detect fine drizzle, drop fall speed and drop size distribution.
To ensure optimal traceability and transparency of data, comprehensive metadata is included.
