KITcube disdrometer measurements from South Tyrol, TEAMx, 2025

DOI

Data from the Parsivel disdrometer network, part of the KITcube (https://www.kitcube.kit.edu/), collected during the summer EOP of TEAMx (www.teamx-programme.org) from April to July 2025. The data was recorded with a temporal resolution of 15 seconds. The dataset contains raw data converted to netCDF format without further treatment. Integrating the measurements to a temporal resolution of at least 60 seconds is highly advised. A total of 18 devices were distributed in the Sarntal Alps region:

The data is simply converted; it is not subject to quality control. The two smallest droplet size classes are outside the measurement range. For raindrops falling outside a range of 2 m/s around the size-velocity relationship specified by Atlas (1973), the results may also be misleading.
