Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Copernicus Doppler Cloud Radar Data

Data were collected from the 31st of March 2004 to the 29th of March 2011 by the Copernicus Doppler cloud radar at Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire. The dataset contains measurements of attenuated backscatter coefficients of aerosols within the atmosphere, and a full Doppler spectrum, and moments Z, v, and w.
