Starting in February 2017, a network of 14 Thies™ manufactured Laser Precipitation Monitors (LPMs) were installed at various locations around the United Kingdom to create the Disdrometer Verification Network (DiVeN). The instruments were installed for verification of radar hydrometeor classification algorithms but are valuable for much wider use in the scientific and operational meteorological community. See dataset for further details.
This collection not only holds the disdrometer data collected for the DiVeN project, but links to supporting observations from the Chilbolton Facility for Radio Research (CFARR) in Hampshire made use of by the project.
