Atmospheric visibility measurements at Hartheim Forest Research Site (DE-Har) from 2020-01-01 to 2020-12-31 [L2]
Description
Quality controlled and gap-filled continuous atmospheric visibility data (Meteorological Observable Range MOR) measured above the forest canopy on a tower at Hartheim Forest Research Site (ICOS Associate Ecosyste Site DE-Har, UFR Code: HARTHM, 7.59814ºE, 47.93391ºN, 201 m) using an a forward scatter system (CS125, Present Weather and Visibility sensor, Campbell Scientific Inc.) operated 20 m above ground level.
- Quality controlled atmospheric visibility data are available and aggregated at 10min, 30min, hourly, daily, monthly and yearly resolution for the year 2020.
- Average, minimum and maximum visibility are provided on hourly, daily, monthly and annual scales.
- Hours and days with at least one minute of a visibility of less than 20, 10, 4, 2, 1, 0.5 and 0.2 km based on the WMO classes are provided on daily, monthly and annual scales. Can be used to determine frequency of fog conditions.
- Hours and days with at least one minute of a visibility of greter than 50 km based on the WMO classes are provided on daily, monthly and annual scales.
- Maximum visibility output by the CS125 is 75 km, so a value of 75 km means greater or equal 75 km. Averaged visibility accounts for values greater than 75 km with 75 km.
- Detailed information on gap-filled data is provided.
- Note: All times are provided in UTC, not local time.
