Vertically pointing doppler radar profiles (24 GHz Metek MRR-2) at Mario Zucchelli Station, aggregated to 5min, monthly netCDF archive
Vertical profiles along the first kilometre of atmosphere above the ground (from 105 to 1050 m a.g.l.) of equivalent radar reflectivity factor (Ze), Doppler velocity (W) and Doppler spectral width (Sw) from a 24-GHz vertically pointing Micro Rain Radar MRR-2 by METEK GmbH positioned at Mario Zucchelli Station (Antarctica).

- Statement

Raw instrument data is gathered daily, then processed with IMProToo v0.107 (Maahn, M. and Kollias, P., 2012), available at https://github.com/maahn/IMProToo . IMProToo is an improved processing method for Micro Rain Radar (MRR). It is especially suited for snow observations. Three variables are extracted: equivalent reflectivity factor, Doppler velocity and spectral width. They are all dealiased automatically. Original time resolution is 1 minute. Data is aggregated to 5 minutes with an average if least three out of five 1-minute values are not NaN inside the selected interval (NaN values mean clear sky). The first and second height ranges are affected by ground clutter and thereby are excluded. The highest is affected by low SNR and is excluded as well. Note that this data has been processed regardless of precipitation type.
