Radiometer network dataset of 10 Hz spectral irradiance and derived variables (LIAISE campaign)

Description

Measurements from the spatial network of 15 radiometers deployed at the LIAISE field campaign in 2021.

14 July 2021 until 28 July 2021.

Dataset Contents

• rsds: Total shortwave downwelling solar irradiance @ 10 Hz, 1 sec, and 1 minute resolution (Level 2, derived dataset)
• prw: Total column integrated water vapour @ 1 sec resolution (Level 2, derived dataset)
• spectrum: Pre-calibrated solar spectral irradiance measurements @ 10 Hz resolution (Level 1, source dataset)
• raw data: straight from the sensors (Level 0)

Dataset Quality

All data is quality controlled and completed with metadata and quality flags. Level 2 data is calibrated against high quality references, and derived from Level 1 data.

Methodology, performance, and usage all described in detail in an upcoming pre-print.

Version History

v1.2: fixed bug of incorrect wavelength labeling, all bands but 900 and 940 nm were affected. This only concerns the 10 Hz spectrum data, rest unchanged.

v1.1: added raw (level 0) data, fixed typo in file name for the 10 Hz spectrum zip (L2 -> L1).
