Abstract:
This data set comprises the measurements of the G-band Radar for Water vapor and Arctic Clouds (GRaWAC) obtained during the HAMAG campaign. Processing details can be found in Schnitt et al., 2026. Water vapor profiles and amount can be retrieved using the software available in https://github.com/igmk/grawacpy/. Data from RF02, RF03, RF04 are available on request.
