TEAMx-PC22 (TEAMx pre-campaing 2022) – GeoSphere Austria ceilometer data

<strong>ABSTRACT</strong> GeoSpere Austria is running operationally a ceilometer (Vaisala CL51) next to the meteorological station at Kufstein, Austria. Ceilometer data collected during the TEAMx pre-campaign 2022 (TEAMx-PC22) are provided here. Standard meteorological data is available on the GeoSphere Austria data hub. The aim of TEAMx-PC22 was to test new instruments, new instrument configurations and new measurement sites to support the planning of the main TEAMx observational campaign (TOC) in 2024/2025. More details about TEAMx can be found at http://www.teamx-programme.org as well as in Serafin et al. (2020) and in Rotach et al. (2022). <strong>DATA SET DESCRIPTION</strong> The ceilometer (Vaisala CL51) is operated at Kufstein next to the meteorological station (12.1628°E 47.5753°N 490m asl). Provided are monthly NetCDF data sets, without data corrections. <strong>Description of variables</strong> time_resol "Mean time resolution of profiles" units = "s" Mtime_resol "Mean time resolution of ALH/MLH" units = "s" range_resol "Range resolution" units = "m" zenith_angle "Zenith (Tilt) angle of device" units = "degrees" times "Decimal hours since start of data [UTC] (ALH/MLH)" units = "hours since yyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS" Mtimes "Decimal hours since start of data [UTC] (ALH/MLH)" units = "hours since yyy-mm-dd HH:MM:SS" range "Range from Telescope to each range gate" units = "m" real_range "Projected range from Telescope to each range gate (w.r.t zenith angle)" units = "m" displacement "Displacement of each range gate (w.r.t zenith angle and altitude)" units = "m" bsp "Attenuated Back Scatter Profile Signal" units = "Mm**-1 sr**-1" cbh "List of Cloud-Base-Heights [agl] (lowest to highest)" units = "m" Contact: [e-mail]
