Cloud top altitude retrieved from Lidar measurements during AFLUX at 1 second resolution ...

During the AFLUX aircraft campaign (21.3.2019 - 11.4.2019) the AMALi Lidar was installed mostly nadir pointing. This dataset contains the cloud top altitudes below the aircraft (altitudes with strong signal increase), as well as a cloud mask, derived from the optical depth of the column. The majorit...

Description
Summary:During the AFLUX aircraft campaign (21.3.2019 - 11.4.2019) the AMALi Lidar was installed mostly nadir pointing. This dataset contains the cloud top altitudes below the aircraft (altitudes with strong signal increase), as well as a cloud mask, derived from the optical depth of the column. The majority of the data was collected northwest of the Svalbard archipelago. More details on the campaign can be found here (https://home.uni-leipzig.de/~ehrlich/AFLUX_wiki_doku).
