Dataset: Six years of surface remote sensing of stratiform warm clouds in marine and continental air over Mace Head, Ireland

A total of 118 stratiform water clouds observed by ground-based remote sensing instruments at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station at the West coast of Ireland from 2009 to 2015 were analyzed in terms of microphysical and optical characteristics as well as the impact of aerosols on these properties. The microphysical and optical cloud properties in the files were obtained using the algorithm SYRSOC (SYnergistic Remote Sensing Of Clouds).
