WegenerNet 3D Open-Air Laboratory Level 2 Data, Version 1.0

The WegenerNet 3D (WEGN3D) Open Air Laboratory for Climate Change Research extends the climate station network in the WegenerNet Feldbach Region with atmospheric sounding capabilities. It is designed to provide unique insights into the life cycle of precipitation events to increase our understanding of, for example, the formation of hailstorms. All data products generated in the WEGN3D Open Air Laboratory are publicly available under the CC BY 4.0 license.

Level 2 data (L2) are gap-filled and geolocated datasets given in well-defined spatiotemporal reference frames.

Degraded data indicated by the respective quality flags are discardeded and resulting gaps in space and time are filled by interpolation where possible. Interpolated data is indicated by flags so they can be easily identified and removed should this be desired. L2 data are sensor agnostic and grouped by their spatiotemporal coverage. They represent the best possible obervation of the respective physical variable from all available observations. L2 data products are typically multi-sensor products, where multiple sensors observing the same physical quantity are merged or observations of different sensors are used to derive new target variables.
