Abstract:
This dataset contains radar and ground-based measurements of precipitation collected from 08 to 10 January 2019 at Davis station, Antarctica. It includes observations from an X-band dual-polarisation Doppler radar, a W-band Doppler cloud profiler, a VHF wind profiler, and a Raman Lidar. A classification of hydrometeor types based on dual-polarisation measurements is also available. The dual-frequency ratio based on the X-band and W-band reflectivity measurements is made available on a common grid. WRF simulations at 27, 9, 3, and 1 km resolution centred around Davis are provided. Finally, automatic weather station and radiosounding measurements are also included.
