During the MOSAiC-ACA aircraft campaign (31.8.2020 - 13.9.2020) the AMALi Lidar was installed 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/MOSAiC_ACA_wiki_doku). Please check the data documentation before using this dataset. ... : Contact person: Mario Mech ([e-mail]) ...
