Abstract

Data from the long-range scanning Doppler lidar Windcube200S, located at research site Cabauw. The Doppler lidar performs different scans, including Doppler Beam Swinging (DBS) for wind profiling and fixed vertical stare scans. The scan schedule varies, depending on the season and on measurement campaigns at Cabauw. The data is transferred in near-real time to the ACTRIS Cloudnet data portal, on which raw files (DBS and fixed vertical stare scans), data products and visualisations can be found.

Visualisations of attenuated backscatter, wind and dissipation rate of the Turbulence Kinetic Energy (TKE) can be found here: https://cloudnet.fmi.fi/search/data?instrument=wls200s&site=cabauw&experimental=true.
