Rainfall rate - data measured with an X-band radar at 213 m height in Cabauw

This dataset contains post-processed X-band (central frequency of 9.475 GHz) weather radar data from the TU Delft IRCTR drizzle radar IDRA. It includes plan-position indicators (PPI) of the specific differential phase, the differential backscatter phase, and the estimated rainfall rate. IDRA is mounted at the top of the Cabauw tower at 213 m agl., and is scanning horizontally at a fixed low elevation angle, covering a slant range of 15 km with a range resolution of 30 m. IDRA thus provides the horizontally spatial distribution of precipitation over the CESAR observatory.

本数据集收录了来自代尔夫特理工大学红外云雾雷达研究所（IRCTR）的X波段（中心频率为9.475 GHz）后处理气象雷达数据。数据包含特定差分相位、差分后向散射相位以及估算的降雨率之平面位置指示器（PPI）。IDRA雷达装置于卡鲍塔楼顶部，海拔高度213米，以固定的低仰角水平扫描，覆盖斜距15公里，距离分辨率为30米。因此，IDRA能够提供CESAR观测站区域内的水平降水空间分布情况。
