title TU Delft CMTRACE Level 2 Wind field at Cabauw
description The first field campaign from the Tracing Convective Momentum Transport in Complex Cloudy Atmospheres experiment project (CMTRACE) took place in Cabauw, the Netherlands, between September 13th and October 3rd 2021. During this field campaign, two cloud radars and one wind lidar were operated with a similar scanning strategy for deriving wind speed and direction profiles from near the surface up to cloud tops. Here, we provide the daily Level 2 data from the campaign. At this level, several processing steps were applied to the Level 1 data from each instrument to minimize the differences between the sampled volumes resampled and temporal and spatial resolution to generate merged profiles of wind speed and direction.

Variables List:

horizontal wind direction; horizontal wind speed; zonal wind; meridional wind; vertical wind speed; lidar relative beta; radar vertical doppler velocity; radar equivalent reflectivity; rain rate;
