Rumba W-BAND Cloud Radar

Upward looking polarized Doppler 94 GHz cloud radar to detect radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity and linear depolarization ratio of cloud particles. The W-Band radar is measuring since December 2018 at altitudes between 150 m and 15 km with a temporal resolution of 2 s.

The data from the RUMBA cloud radar are all stored in the common NetCDF-Format and located under:

/pool/OBS/BARBADOS_CLOUD_OBSERVATORY/Level_1/B_Reflectivity/W-Band_Radar/

The measurements of the CORAL cloud radar are available since December 2018 and a detailed overview about the data availability is given here: http://bcoweb.mpimet.mpg.de/systems/data_availability/DeviceAvailability.html
