cops_rsdu_imkmt: meteorological station data measured at mobile meteorological towers run by FZK/IMK-TRO during COPS 2007

The positions of the meteorological towers (IMKMT1 to IMKMT4) are identical with the positions of the launching sites of the drop-up-sondes (IMKRS1 to IMKRS5). There have been no more than 4 teams operating on each IOP. For detailed information about the sites (including a map) and operating days see supplement pdf-file (cops_rsdu_imk_info_1).

The parameters are:

air_pressure: measured at about 1.8 m GND by a barometric pressure sensor that has a gill pressure port, 60s mean.

air_temperature_at_1.8m: measured at about 1.8 m GND by a HYGROMER meteorology probe MP 400a, 60s mean.

relative_humidity_at_1.8m: measured at about 1.8 m GND by a HYGROMER meteorology probe MP 400a, 60s mean.

precipitation_amount: measured by a tipping bucket rain gauge (catchment area: 200 cm**2), 60s accumulated.

wind_speed_at_4.5m, wind_from_direction_at_4.5m, virtual_temperature_at_4.5m: measured at about 4.5 m by a Young 3-D Sonic Anemometer, 60s mean.

Attribute description
relative_humidity-at1.8m
Descriptor

relative_humidity_at1.8m [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: 0.01

Attribute description
air_temperature-at1.8m
Descriptor

Air temperature is the bulk temperature of the air, not the surface (skin) temperature. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: degC

Attribute description
virtual_temperature-at4.5m
Descriptor

The virtual temperature of air is the temperature at which the dry air constituent of a parcel of moist air would have the same density as the moist air at the same pressure. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: degC

Attribute description
wind_from_direction_at_4.5m
Descriptor

wind_from_direction_at_4.5m [CF-Guidelines for construction]; unit: degree

Attribute description
air_pressure
Descriptor

air_pressure [CF-Standard Name]; unit: hPa

Attribute description
precipitation_amount
Descriptor

"Amount" means mass per unit area. "Precipitation" in the earths atmosphere means precipitation of water in all phases. [CF-Standard Name]; unit: mm

Attribute description
wind_speed-at4.5m
Descriptor

Speed is the magnitude of velocity. Wind is defined as a two-dimensional (horizontal) air velocity vector, with no vertical component. (Vertical motion in the atmosphere has the standard name upward_air_velocity.) The wind speed is the magnitude of the wind velocity. [CF-Standard Name-vertical_coordinate]; unit: m s-1
