IDRA weather radar measurements - day 2016-05-13

Radar range: far. Max rain level: moderate rain. Parent item: IDRA weather radar measurements - month 2016-05 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。父数据集项：IDRA气象雷达观测数据——2016年5月。
测量仪器：位于荷兰卡鲍市CESAR（Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Research，卡鲍大气研究实验场）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，IRCTR Drizzle Radar），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月底部署在荷兰卡鲍市CESAR观测站内一座213米高的气象塔塔顶。
该观测点位具备多项核心优势：其一，可有效降低地面杂波影响，提升探测灵敏度；其二，可直接开展低层云与雾的水平分布观测；其三，周边配套的其他观测仪器可与本系统协同进行数据融合分析，助力深化对大气物理过程的科学认知。
