Ka, W and G-band radar observations of clouds and light precipitation during the EPCAPE campaign in March and April 2023

<p>The files contained in the data sets include Ka, W and G-band radar observations of clouds and light precipitation for several days from March 23 to April 27, 2023, during the EPCAPE campaign in La Jolla, CA, USA. <br>The YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS file naming convention corresponds to the starting measurement time of the data set in UTC.<br>The CloudCube_EPCAPE_Gband_Spectra.zip folder contains G-band radar Doppler spectra in the form of calibrated reflectivity as a function of Doppler velocity and range, where the noise has been masked out. The CloudCube_EPCAPE_Gband_Spectra_Noise.zip folder contains G-band radar Doppler spectra, including noise and SNR. The CloudCube_EPCAPE_Gband_Moments.zip folder contains G-band radar Doppler spectra moments, i.e. calibrated reflectivity, mean Doppler velocity and Doppler spectrum width. The CloudCube_EPCAPE_Multifrequency.zip folder includes Ka, W and G-band calibrated reflectivity and dual-frequency reflectivity ratios.&nbsp;<br>These data were obtained from CloudCube, a Ka, W and G-band atmospheric profiling radar, to demonstrate synergies between multifrequency retrievals.<br>For more details about the data processing and description, please refer to: Socuellamos, J. M., Rodriguez Monje, R., Lebsock, M. D., Cooper, K. B., Beauchamp, R. M., and Umeyama, A.: Multifrequency radar observations of marine clouds during the EPCAPE campaign, Earth Syst. Sci.
