PollyXT lidar profiles from Mindelo, Cabo Verde, between July 2021 and August 2023

The data files contain measurement data of aerosol optical properties which were obtained with the multiwavelength-Raman polarization lidar PollyXT at Mindelo, Cabo Verde, between July 2021 and August 2023. The vertical profiles were retrieved automatically with the PollyNET processing chain (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.13379737), using the Raman method. The averaging time of these profiles is indicated by the variables 'start_time_profile' and 'end_time_profile'. The vertical smoothing lengths are 382.5 m and 742.5 m for the near- and far-range profiles, respectively. The POLIPHON file includes the results of the one-step polarization-lidar photometer networking algorithm (POLIPHON; https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-12-4849-2019).
