PAR005 Optical disdrometer data at De Zweth
Description: In-situ measurements of raindrop size distributions, fall velocities, drop number concentrations and surface rain rates recorded by an OTT Parsivel2 disdrometer named "PAR005" in De Zweth, The Netherlands. Situated approximately 7 km to the North West of Rotterdam, and 4 km South East of Delft campus, Zweth is a small town along the Schie river, at the intersection of the historical areas of Delfland and Schieland. The same site also features a micro-rain radar "MRR004_DeZweth" (since February 2022), replaced by "MRR006_DeZweth" (since August 2022) and a Davis weather station "Davis003_DeZweth" (since May 2023). All sensors are placed on top of an air quality monitoring container belonging to TNO, at a height of approx. 4 meters.
Format: Each NetCDF file covers a full month of observations. The temporal resolution is 1 minute. Data are provided "as is", without any post-processing. The NetCDF files contain all relevant information about all the variables, attributes and units. The global attributes of the NetCDF files contain important information about the type of sensor, logging software, project contributors and history of the dataset. If a monthly file is missing, no data are available for this month.
Relevance: Optical disdrometer data are useful for studying the type, dynamics and microphysics of precipitation from the perspective of a fixed observer on the ground. The data can be used to help calibrate weather radars, improve quantitative precipitation estimates, calculate the absorption/attenuation/propagation of electromagnetic signals through the atmosphere, and quantify important physical quantities such as liquid water content, rain amount, intensity and kinetic energy.
