Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) -Pilot: Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) UV Raman Lidar Data

The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) aimed to further the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the initiation of precipitating convection in the maritime environment of southern England; i.e. to understand why convective clouds form and develop into precipitating clouds in a particular location.

Data have been collected from the 6th July 2004 to the 29th July 2004 by the Ultra-violet Raman lidar at Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire. The dataset contains measurements of attenuated backscatter coefficients of aerosols within the atmosphere, and humidity mixing ratios. Plots of the attenuated backscatter coefficient, and of the humidity mixing ratios, at different heights are also available.
