Sammanhang:
Instrumentet, en Vaisala ceilometers CL51 mäter molntoppen eller molnbasen på molnskikten. Den är installerad vid Svartbergets ICOS-station tillsammans med andra instrument som övervakar atmosfären och skogens ekosystem (Dataåtkomst: https://data.icos-cp.eu/portal)

Context:
The instrument, a Vaisala ceilometer CL51 measures ceiling or base height of cloud layers. It is installed at the Svartberget ICOS station alongside with other instruments monitoring the atmosphere and the forest ecosystem (Data access: https://data.icos-cp.eu/portal)

Data description:
Raw data converted from DAT (.dat) to NetCDF (.nc) using command line program cl2nc (Kuma, 2024) on python (Kuma et al., 2021), and the converted files are provided. Data covers a time period between 23rd of July 2018 (14:00) and 31st of December 2024 (23:00).
The variables included in the .nc files as well as the description and units can be found in the file Variable_description.tsv (tab separated values). Please see Vaisala CL51 user guide for more information regarding the variables: https://docs.vaisala.com/r/M210801EN-J/en-US (last access: 3rd February 2025) or https://github.com/peterkuma/cl2nc (last access: 3rd February 2025)

The files are hourly files with the following naming AYMMDDHH in which the first two digits (AY) refer to the year i.e. A8 = 2018, A9 = 2019, A0= 2020, A1 = 2021, A2 = 2022, A3 = 2023 and A4 = 2024. The rest six (6) digits refer to month (MM), day (DD) and hour of the day (HH).

Data resolution is approximately 10 seconds (can be set between 6-120 seconds based on the software manual) leading to 600 observations per hour if no data is missing

Some variables (layer, layer_cloud_amount, layer_height, level, sky_detection_status, time, window_contamination) are sometimes missing, mostly in the older files. They are related to the "layer"-variables and are only produced if the ceilometers Sky Condition Algorithm is active, which has not been the case especially in the beginning.

General

The Svartberget site is located in the Svartberget Experimental Forest. The experimental forest covers 1076 ha of boreal forest land and governs a manifold of research activities since 1923. A reference monitoring program of climate and water is active since 1980.

The site was established for ICOS Sweden in 2011 and hosts a Class 2 combined Ecosystem and Class 1 Atmosphere station. 

The research site which is co-located with the national infrastructures SITES and ACTRIS Sweden. The ACTRIS activities at Svartberget are operated by SLU.</r:Content>
