Sorel, QC Vaisala Forward Scatter Sensor FD71P Data
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
This dataset contains the raw data from the Vaisala Forward Scatter Sensor (FD71P) sited at Sorel-Tracy, QC for the Winter Precipitation Type Research Mult-Scale Experiment (WINTRE-MIX).
Description
Data was collected between October 20, 2021 and May 03, 2022. The FD71P utilizes forward scattering of a thin light sheet to detect particle sizes and fall speeds and deduce precipitation types, accumulations, and visibility.
Sorel-Tracy is located at the northern end of the Champlain Valley, on the southern shore of the St. Lawrence River northeast of Montreal. The site was in a small park to the east of the Richelieu River.
