Particle size and velocity distributions from an OTT Parsivel optical disdrometer located at Mario Zucchelli Station, aggregated to 5min, monthly netCDF archive

Disdrometric data from an OTT Parsivel with 32 size classes and 32 velocity classes located at Mario Zucchelli Station (Antarctica, -74.6945 N, 164.1152 E, 15 m a.s.l.). Mid values and widths of the classes are provided. Spectra are sampled every 5 minutes (after merging five 1-minute measurements) and saved in monthly netCDF files. Note that this data has been processed regardless of precipitation type. Particle Size distribution (PSD) is calculated for every data entry. Monthly cumulated spectra and PSD are also provided.

Japanese DBnary archive in original Lemon format

The DBnary dataset is an extract of Wiktionary data from many language editions in RDF Format. Until July 1st 2017, the lexical data extracted from Wiktionary was modeled using the lemon vocabulary. This dataset contains the full archive of all DBnary dumps in Lemon format containing lexical information from Japanese language edition, ranging from 11th October 2013 to 1st July 2017. After July 2017, DBnary data has been modeled using the ontolex model and will be available in another Zenodo entry.
