IDRA weather radar measurements - day 2016-11-11

Radar range: far. Max rain level: moderate rain. Parent item: IDRA weather radar measurements - month 2016-11 Measuring instrument: IDRA atmospheric radar in CESAR observatory, Cabauw IRCTR has built a high resolution radar system, IDRA (IRCTR Drizzle Radar), aimed at the detailed observation of the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall and drizzle. The system was placed at the end of August 2007 on top of a 213 m high meteorological tower in the CESAR (Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research) observatory in Cabauw, The Netherlands. This location has several advantages: In the first place, an increased sensitivity due to the reduction of the influence of ground clutter. Secondly, it allows direct observation of the horizontal distribution of low level clouds and fog. Finally, the presence of other instruments in the vicinity enhances the understanding of the physical processes in the atmosphere by synergistically combining their measurements. Data from other instruments at CESAR are available at {http://www.cesar-database.nl}. IDRA provides the horizontal distribution of reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity, Doppler spectrum width and polarimetric parameters like differential reflectivity, linear depolarization ratio or specific differential phase. The data collected is freely available to the scientific community.

雷达探测距离：远距；最大降雨等级：中雨。父数据集：IDRA气象雷达观测数据集——2016年11月。观测仪器：荷兰卡堡CESAR观测站的IDRA大气雷达。IRCTR搭建了高分辨率雷达系统IDRA（IRCTR毛毛雨雷达），旨在精细化观测降雨与毛毛雨的时空分布特征。该系统于2007年8月末部署于荷兰卡堡的CESAR（卡堡大气研究试验场，Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research）观测站内一座213米高的气象塔塔顶。该观测点位具备多重优势：其一，地面杂波影响大幅减弱，显著提升系统探测灵敏度；其二，可直接获取低层云与雾的水平分布观测数据；其三，观测站周边部署的其他仪器可与本系统协同融合观测数据，助力科研人员深入解析大气物理过程。CESAR观测站其他仪器的观测数据可通过{http://www.cesar-database.nl}获取。IDRA可提供反射率、平均多普勒速度、多普勒谱宽以及差分反射率、线性退极化比、比差分相位等偏振参数的水平分布数据。所采集的数据集面向全球科研社区免费开放。
