NWTC Ceilometer (1) Pre-campaign / Derived Data

Overview

This instrument will be testing the data transfer process before deploying the campaign. The netCDF L3 data file has level 3 (L3) data that have gone through the calculation service and contains all the data from the algorithms, including mixing layer height values and quality index data. L3 default files contain L3 data that use the default preset for a live plot.

File naming schema:

L3_DEFAULT__YYYYMMDDHHMM__.nc

Name Description L3 Identification of the data level DEFAULT Identification of the L3 file type CUSTOM OFFLINE STATION_NUMBER WMO station number, if defined YYYYMMDDHHMM UTC time ParameterKey Identification of the advanced algorithm settings. See the table below for an explanation. FREE_FORMAT File suffix, if defined

Data Quality

This data have been passed through a processing algorithm to determine cloud layer heights and backscatter intensity profiles.
