Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Meteorological Particle Sensor Data, Chilbolton Site

Data were collected by the Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Meteorological Particle Sensor from 2009 to present. During this time the particle sensor was at Chilbolton, Hampshire, whilst previously it had been positioned at Sparsholt College, Hampshire. The dataset contains measurements of the size of individual particulates including rain, snow, and hail, as well as estimates of drizzle, total rainfall and liquid water content.
