HALO Photonics StreamLine Doppler lidars.
Instrument ID: halo-doppler-lidar
| File | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
*.hpl |
text | Hourly measurements (Stare, VAD, etc.) |
Background*.txt |
text | Hourly background measurements. |
system_parameters*.txt |
text | Monthly system parameters. These should be submitted to the first day of the month. |
If you have depolarisation measurements stored in two different directories,
you need to specify tags for *.hpl files:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
co |
Co-polarisation measurements. |
cross |
Cross-polarisation measurements. |
Sometimes Background*.txt files are also stored in different directories
alongside the co and cross measurements. In this case, you can specify tags for
Background*.txt files.
Example configuration for cloudnet-submit:
[[instrument]]
site = "hyytiala"
instrument = "halo-doppler-lidar"
instrument_pid = "https://hdl.handle.net/21.12132/3.421272f219be4f97"
path_fmt = "/data/dlidar34/%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d/*.{hpl,txt}"
[[instrument]]
site = "hyytiala"
instrument = "halo-doppler-lidar"
instrument_pid = "https://hdl.handle.net/21.12132/3.421272f219be4f97"
path_fmt = "/data/dlidar34/%Y/%Y%m/system_parameters_*.txt"
periodicity = "monthly"
For depolarisation measurements:
[[instrument]]
site = "hyytiala"
instrument = "halo-doppler-lidar"
instrument_pid = "https://hdl.handle.net/21.12132/3.421272f219be4f97"
path_fmt = "/data/dlidar34/%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d/*.{hpl,txt}"
tags = ["co"]
[[instrument]]
site = "hyytiala"
instrument = "halo-doppler-lidar"
instrument_pid = "https://hdl.handle.net/21.12132/3.421272f219be4f97"
path_fmt = "/data/dlidar34/cross/%Y/%Y%m/%Y%m%d/*.{hpl,txt}"
tags = ["cross"]
| Field Name | Type | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
time_offset |
int |
min | Time offset compared to UTC (positive values mean ahead of UTC, e.g. 120 for Finnish standard time). |
azimuth_offset |
float |
degrees | Offset value to be added to azimuth angles if instrument doesn’t point to North. |
