Continuous measurement of weather data since 1995 on several height levels up to 250 m above the ground at the Wettermast Hamburg, a 300 m broadcasting tower in Hamburg-Billwerder (Germany).
The following articles dealing with GOP data have been written and published so far. Please note: These articles have been published with free access to public, while the full copyright policies of each
In March 2007, the third deployment of the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) took place in the Black Forest region of Germany, where scientists studied rainfall resulting from atmospheric uplift (convection) in
Ground-based GPS receivers measure the Zenith Total Delay (ZTD) in mm which is the sum of the Zenith Hydrostatic Delay (ZHD) caused by the atmospheres dry components and the Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD) resulting
Rain gauge data and also analysed fields from the diverse sources are assembled. For Berlin a high spatial resolution network combining observations by water authorities, DWD and own data is produced
All DWD radar products and original 3-D radar measurements will be made available. A quicklook inventory will allow the PQP participants to pick case studies easily. The PQP project VERIPREG (Paulat et
The GOP includes 1) a cooperation with European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) and 2) the use of lidar ceilometers which are based on much simpler techniques compared to research lidars but
Continuous observations by two networks will be made available to PQP: The SAFIR (Surveillance et Alerte Foudre par Interferometrie Radioelectrique) total lightning detection system in Northern Germany
The observations from meteorological stations (DWD, Meteorological and Geographical Institutes, research organizations, etc.) provide continuous information on the atmospheric state. In particular we
Radar measurements made with the portable DOW xband radars. DOW2 was operational from 19 June until 14 August and DOW3 was operational from 22 July until 14 August. The radar were operated from several
The COPS energy balance and turbulence network intended to measure all components of the surface energy balance including the both turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heat as well as the long and shortwave
The soil moisture network comprises all stations where soil moisture and soil temperature were measured during COPS. The stations were operated by different groups and differ partly concerning sensor type,
