This repository contains the datasets of Doppler spectra collected by two meteorological radars in the vicinity of the Belgian research base Princess Elisabeth Antarctica (PEA). The measurement campaign has been conducted by the Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory (LTE) of the Scole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), with the logistical support of the International Polar Foundation (IPF). The datasets and their processing are described in the article “Radar and ground-level measurements of clouds and precipitation collected during the POPE 2020 campaign at Princess Elisabeth Antarctica”, by Alfonso Ferrone and Alexis Berne, submitted to Earth System Science Data in August 2022. New content: The files containing the Doppler spectra have been divided into compressed archives. Each of them contains a series of data files, all saved in NetCDF4 format. The content of each archives is listed below. WProf_spectra.zip This archive contains the Doppler spectra collected by the W-band Doppler profiling cloud radar (WProf) deployed at PEA. MXPol_spectra.zip This archive contains the Doppler spectra and the polarimetric radar variables collected by the X-band Doppler dual-polarization scanning weather radar (MXPol).
