cops_pold_cband_rhipol_d: POLDIRAD rhi scan with polarimetric radar parameters

Hagen, Martin

Dataset
Summary
Data from polarimetric Doppler radar POLDIRAD. This dataset contains data from RHI scans about every 10 minutes. Most RHI scans are towards the supersites Achern (at 36 km), Hornisgrinde (at 46 km), and AMF (at 62 km). Radar parameters are horizontal polarized reflectivity, Doppler velocity. Polarimetric radar parameters like linear depolarization ratio, differential reflectivity, coplar correlation coefficient, differential phase are available upon request only (contact the data originator). Quicklooks and further information are available through www.pa.op.dlr.de/poldirad/cops.
The data is provided in daily zip-files, which contain the individual 10min scans.
