A wide range of satellite and ground based instruments measured a variety of atmospheric properties ranging from cloud parameters to water vapour. In addition the measurements coincided with the results from a reduced resolution Unified Model (UM) run by the Met Office. Access to such a data set allowed unprecedented comparisons between observed and modelled data. The core observing period was 16th June to 11th July 2003.\r\n\r\nThe Aims of CWAVE were:\r\n\r\n-Validation and inter-comparison of cloud and water vapour measurements from satellite, with remotely sensed ground based measurements of cloud parameters and water vapour.\r\n-Comparison of measured cloud parameters and water vapour, with results from high resolution Unified Model (UM) run by the Met Office.","keywords":"CWAVE, radar, lidar, satellite, model","status":"","publicationState":"published","identifier_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/545/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/546/?format=json"],"observationCollection":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observationcollections/813/?format=json"],"parentProject":null,"subProject":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/2699/?format=json"]}
