Liquid water path and integrated water vapor derived from airborne HAMP on HALO during the EUREC4A Field Campaign

Products of liquid water path (LWP), rain water path (RWP) and integrated water vapor (IWV, also called precipitable water vapor (PWV)) are retrieved from microwave radiometer observations (Mech et al., 2014)) with auxiliary measurements from backscatter lidar and cloud radar. The nadir measurements were taken by the German High Altitude and Long range research aircraft (HALO). Products are provided over tropical Atlantic east of Barbados south of 20°N.
This dataset provides column integrated quantities as seen from satellite perspective but with higher spatially resolution (about 1 km footprint) than available from microwave satellites. For further description and an uncertainty assessment see Jacob et al. (2019).
