Abstract. During the EUREC4A field study, microwave radiometric measurements were performed at Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO) and aboard the RV Meteor and RV Maria S Merian. We present retrieved Integrated Water Vapor (IWV), Liquid Water Path (LWP) and temperature and humidity profiles as a unified, quality-controlled, multi-site dataset on a three second temporal resolution for a core period between January 19, 2020 and February 14, 2020 in which all instruments were operational. 14-channel K- and V-band measurements were performed at BCO and aboard the RV Meteor, and combined radar-radiometer measurements of a W-band Doppler radar with a single-channel radiometer instrument were conducted at 89 GHz onboard the RV Meteor and RV Maria S Merian. Mean IWV of 31.8 kgm−2 matches independent radiosoundings at BCO with a rootmean-square difference of 1.1 kgm−2. Mean LWP conditions in confident cloudy, non-precipitating conditions ranged between 66.5 gm−2 at BCO to 40.4 gm−2 aboard the RV Maria S Merian. Aboard the ships, 90 % of LWP was below 120 gm−2 with an uncertainty of 30 % at LWP of 50 gm−2. Up to 30 % of confident cloudy profiles ranged below the LWP detection limit due to optically thin clouds. The data set comprises of processed raw-data (Level 1), full quality-controlled post-processed instrument data (Level 2), a unified temporal resolution (Level 3), and a ready-to-use multi-site time series of IWV and LWP (Level 4), available to the public via AERIS (https://doi.org/10.25326/454, Schnitt et al., 2023). The data set complements the airborne LWP measurements conducted during EUREC4A and provides a benchmark tool for model-observation studies.

EUREC4A 期间的地面和船载微波辐射计测量

摘要。在 EUREC 4 A 实地研究期间,微波辐射测量是在巴巴多斯云天文台 (BCO) 和 RV Meteor 和 RV Maria S Merian 上进行的。我们将检索到的综合水汽 (IWV)、液态水路径 (LWP) 和温度和湿度剖面作为一个统一的、质量控制的、多站点数据集,在 2020 年 1 月 19 日至 2 月的核心时期内以三秒时间分辨率呈现2020 年 14 日,所有仪器均已运行。在 BCO 和 RV Meteor 上进行了 14 通道 K 和 V 波段测量,并在 RV Meteor 和 RV Meteor 上以 89 GHz 进行了 W 波段多普勒雷达与单通道辐射计仪器的组合雷达辐射计测量RV 玛丽亚 S 梅里安。平均 IWV 为 31.8 kgm -2与 BCO 处的独立无线电探测相匹配,均方根差为 1.1 kgm -2。在 BCO 的66.5 gm −2到 RV Maria S Merian 的40.4 gm −2之间,有信心的多云、非降水条件下的平均 LWP 条件。在船上,90% 的 LWP 低于 120 gm -2,LWP 为 50 gm -2时的不确定性为 30%. 由于光学薄云,高达 30% 的置信多云剖面低于 LWP 检测限。该数据集包括处理过的原始数据(1 级)、完全质量控制的后处理仪器数据(2 级)、统一的时间分辨率(3 级)和随时可用的多站点时间序列IWV 和 LWP(4 级),可通过 AERIS 向公众提供(https://doi.org/10.25326/454,Schnitt 等人,2023 年)。该数据集补充了 EUREC 4 A期间进行的机载 LWP 测量,并为模型观测研究提供了基准工具。
