Millimeter Cloud Radar Measurements

This data set contains measurements from a Millimeter Cloud Radar (MMCR) that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland. The MMCR points near-vertically and provides estimates of radar reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity, and Doppler spectrum width, as well as full Doppler spectra. Detailed informati...

Description
Summary:This data set contains measurements from a Millimeter Cloud Radar (MMCR) that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland. The MMCR points near-vertically and provides estimates of radar reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity, and Doppler spectrum width, as well as full Doppler spectra. Detailed information on these parameters and other aspects of the dataset are included in the netCDF header information for each file. The ceilometer is owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Earth System Research Laboratory. Field operations support is provided by the National Science Foundation's Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program.
