This dataset is a supplement to "Low-level mixed-phase clouds at the high Arctic site of Ny-Ålesund: A comprehensive long-term dataset of remote sensing observations", available at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7803064. The additional variables here included are: slow edge velocity, fast edge velocity, and eddy dissipation rate (EDR). All variables are stored on the same time and range grids adopted for the main dataset. Similarly, the event selection and file structure are identical to those of the main dataset.Slow and fast edge velocities are derived from Doppler spectra recorded by the zenith-pointing 94-GHz cloud radar. The slow (fast) edge velocity is calculated as the velocity associated with the slowest (fastest) Doppler bin above the peak noise level, belonging to a spectral cluster whose width is at least 5 Doppler bins.The EDR is retrieved following the approach by Borque et al. (2016; doi.org/10.1002/2015JD024543), using as input the slow edge velocity, and model horizontal wind speed from the main ... : This work was supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation), under Project no. 268020496 — TRR 172, within the Transregional Collaborative Research Center "ArctiC Amplification: Climate Relevant Atmospheric and SurfaCe Processes, and Feedback Mechanisms (AC)3." ...
