The data set provided in this data repository contains the data set used to run the python notebook of the orbital-radar tool - See GitHub page of the orbital-radar.py (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.13375013).The data set consists mainly from ground-based w-band radar at JOYCE avilable at the ACTRIS database CLU (JOYCE data 2021-04-06), and the data set for the ground-based w-band radar at Mindelo during the ASKOS campaign, too (Mindelo data 2022-07-15). The GEOMS data filed from the ground-based w-band radars at JOYCE and Mindelo are provided by the University of Cologne and stored in this ZENODO database. In addition the data base contains a day of ground-based ARM radar data from the Cap Verdes, presented in Rémillard and Tselioudis, 2015, J. Climate, https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-15-0066.1. The airborne data set from the AFLUX campaign can be found in the PANGAEA database (AFLUX data 2022). The forward-modelled radar data using ICON output and the PAMTRA tool for the NyAlesund is provided by the University of Cologne and stored in the ZENODO database. JOYCE data 2021-04-06: https://doi.org/10.60656/e8c4957887854659 Mindelo data 2022-07-15: https://doi.org/10.60656/c5e09106ba0246bc AFLUX data 2022: https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.944506 ARM data set from Cap Verdes: https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-15-0066.1 JOYCE and Mindelow data should be sorted in a YYYY/MM/DD. folder structure to be read by the tool. Other data need a simple path to the folders data are placed in.
