List of IDs People are asked to fill in their abbreviations for the naming convention they are asked to use in their experiments. New entries have to take care not to use an already existing abbreviation, even of former, not active, members. Abbreviations should result from the experimenters name. You have to add your department/group.

Disdrometer

Friedhelm Jansen (friedhelm.jansen@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-02-27T12:26:25+00:00

Disdrometer To close the gap on rain size distribution and velocity we installed 2017 a disdrometer at the BCO. The instrument was an Eigenbrodt ODM470. As we had several problems with the instrument and the data we stopped operation in 2022. In 2023 we installed a new disdrometer OTT Parsivel2 (we also installed 2 of these disdrometer on board of the RV Meteor for the BOWTIE-campaign in 2024). As this unit is not rotating into the wind we installed it facing to the main wind direction (Frie…

Cloud radars at BCO

Cloud radars at BCO The first cloud radar measurements at the BCO started on the 10th of April 2010 with the KIT-WORA a cloud radar owned by the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT). It was operated until the 9th of January 2011. In December 2010 the scanning Ka-Band radar KATRIN was installed at the BCO. It was operated parallel to the KIT-WORA for a short time and replaced it in January 2011 as the BCO cloud radar.

Barbados Cloud Observatory [http://barbados.mpimet.mpg.de] The Barbados Cloud Observatory (BCO) is located on the windward coast of Barbados and is well situated to observe the air masses carried by the trade winds over the Atlantic Ocean. The site, which has been in operation since April 1, 2010, is equipped with standard meteorological instruments (measuring e.g. temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, rain rate, solar irradiance) and several remote sensing instruments to study the vertical…

HATPRO at BCO

Friedhelm Jansen (friedhelm.jansen@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-02-27T09:48:45+00:00

HATPRO at BCO Profiling radiometers like our HATPRO-G5 are mainly used to derive vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature and humidity. The infrared radiometer extension allows to cloud base height and ice cloud detection. The radiometer covers high-resolution temperature profiling of the boundary layer and low-humidity applications. All models of the series provide accurate total amounts of atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid water. The retrieval algorithms is custom designed and bas…
