IDRA weather radar measurements - day 2017-03-02

Radar range: far. Max rain level: moderate rain. Parent item: IDRA weather radar measurements - month 2017-03 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.

雷达量程：远距。最大降雨等级：中雨。父数据集项：IDRA气象雷达观测数据——2017年3月。观测仪器：位于荷兰卡堡的CESAR（Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research，卡堡大气研究实验场）观测场内的IDRA大气雷达。IRCTR构建了一套高分辨率雷达系统IDRA（IRCTR滴谱雷达），旨在精准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地区的上述观测场内一座213米高的气象塔塔顶。该观测点位具备多重优势：其一，地面杂波影响被有效抑制，雷达灵敏度显著提升；其二，可直接开展低层云与雾的水平分布观测；其三，周边布设的其他观测设备可通过协同整合观测数据，助力科研人员深化对大气物理过程的认知。CESAR观测场其他仪器的观测数据可通过网址{http://www.cesar-database.nl}获取。IDRA可输出反射率、平均多普勒速度、多普勒谱宽以及偏振参量（包括差分反射率、线性退极化比、比差分相位）的水平分布数据。本数据集采集的观测数据可向全球科研社区免费开放获取。
