[{"name":"oden-artofmelt-2023-micro-rain-radar-1","title":"Processed micro rain radar data from expedition ARTofMELT, Arctic Ocean, 2023","summary":"Measurements obtained from the micro rain radar (METEK MRR-2) deployed on the foredeck of the Swedish icebreaker Oden during the expedition ARTofMELT (Atmospheric Rivers and the Onset of Arctic Melt) in the Fram Strait pack ice during the spring transition, 8 May to 14 June of 2023. Measurements ran continuously during the whole expedition.\r\n\r\nThe raw MRR-2 spectral data have been processed using the software IMProToo, and the output variables include effective reflectivity, Doppler vertical Velocity, Doppler spectral width and signal to noise ratio, in addition to quality control and diagnostic variables, and the spectral reflectivity data both before and after the application of the IMProToo dealiasing procedure.","citations":"Maahn M, Kollias P (2012) Improved Micro Rain Radar snow measurements using Doppler spectra post-processing.

This software applies a noise removal and dealiasing algorithm to the MRR raw spectra data, and a peak detection algorithm that is used for the calculation of the radar moments. A 'quality' flag is included in the file that indicates success of the algorithm at each time\/height bin.\r\n\r\n##### Associated raw data and code\r\n[IMProToo](https:\/\/github.com\/maahn\/IMProToo) is available at GitHub. These data were generated using IMProToo v0.107.
