Data in this collection is from micro-pulse lidar (MPL) and near field of view (NFOV) radiometer from 20 Dec 2014 to 1 March 2015. The instruments are co-located and zenith-aligned. Measurements were recorded at the CAROb site (http://carob.rsmas.miami.edu/) located in the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science. The data in this collection is categorized as MPL and zenith radiometer data.
Contents:
MPL:
1. Calibration Files (MPL Calibrations)
2. Profiles (MPL Profile [YYYYMMDD]):
- Profile data:
- particle extinction, backscatter coefficient, column aerosol optical depth, and column cloud optical depth.
- Cloud layer data:
- Cloud optical depth, base height, top height, and vertical size, and horizontal size.
3. Cloud Horizontal Size (MPL Horizontal Size):
- Cloud horizontal size along with other cloud data averaged horizontally.
Zenith Radiance (Zenith Radiance):
1. Model vs Data Spectral Radiance
2. Zenith Radiance Time Series data
- Optical depth, radiance, and solar zenith angle
Detailed information is found in the README.txt files within the folders.
