Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) Leosphere EZ Polarization Lidar Data

Data were collected from the 14th of February 2009 to the present by the Leosphere EZ polarization lidar at Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire. The dataset contains plots of the attenuated backscatter coefficient at different heights, and of the depolarization ratio of particles.

The dataset contains:

Plots of the attenuated backscatter coefficient at different heights, and of the depolarization ratio of particles.

Atmospheric backscatter light intensity (raw data)

Solid angle and background calibrated data

Vertical backscatter and extinction profile

Vertical Aerosol profile

Planetary Boundary Layer and residual layer heights

Semi-transparent cloud height and top

Optical depth integrated over whole Lidar range

Dynamic structure of the atmosphere (e.g gravity waves...)

Asphericity information on the particle in order to discriminate some particles from others (soil dust from other aerosol, ice/water phase of the clouds…)
