This dataset contains the data from three CloudBrake dual-aeroplane flights executed by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) in Munich. The Falcon aeroplane flew at constant altitude carrying a downward looking Doppler Wind Lidar, from which we obtained a wind profile for the east-west, north-south and up-down component and also provided as wind speed and wind (from) direction as is the meteorological standard. These netcdf files have the format yyyymmdd_L2.nc The authors are Stephan Rahm and Benjamin Witschs.
A second airplane flew in the mixed-layer, near cloud base, in the cloud layer and at cloud top and took in-situ measurements at 100 Hz, of among others the three wind components, temperature and humidity. The netcdf files are named in the following format: fldr_yyyymmdd_LEG##.nc. Author is Christian Mallaun
Flight reports are written during flight by Louise Nuijens.
The dataset can be found on the OPeNDAP server:
