Abstract:
Raw data (horizontal and Vertical polarization voltages) of the mobile L-band radiometer, called ARIEL from BALAMIS Company. This raw data can be converted to Brightness Temperature, which can be used to measure ice thickness during the MOSAiC expedition legs PS122/4 and PS122/5.
The files contains the horizontal and Vertical polarization voltages measured with the ARIEL radiometer during July and August 2020. The label of each columns are:
1 - On-board computer time stamp [hhmmss]
2 - Internal hot load [Volts]
3 - Antenna polarization 1 [Volts] (V-pol)
4 - Antenna polarization 2 [Volts] (H-pol)
5 - Internal cold load [Volts]
6 - Internal temperature [Celsius]
7 - Heater for temperature stabilization power [%]
8 - IR photodiode reading [Celsius]
9 - GPS time stamps [hhmmss]
10 - GPS latitude
11 - GPS longitude
12 - GPS altitude
13 - GPS connected flag
14 - Ethernet cable connected flag
