Dataset: TU Delft optical disdrometer Parsivel² PAR004 at Westmaas
title TU Delft Parsivel² disdrometer at Westmaas (PAR004)
description In-situ measurements of raindrop size distributions, fall velocities, drop number concentrations and surface rain rates recorded by an OTT Parsivel2 disdrometer named "PAR004" in Westmaas, The Netherlands. Westmaas is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland located approximately 15 km south of the city centre of Rotterdam, south of the old Meuse. The same site also features a micro-rain radar "MRR003_Westmaas" (since June 2022) and a Davis weather station "Davis003_Westmaas" (since May 2023). All sensors are placed on top of an air quality monitoring container belonging to TNO, at a height of approx. 4 meters. The container is located approximately 1.5 km to the West of the village of Westmaas, in a predominantly flat and rural area.
