It is installed at the Svartberget ICOS station alongside with other instruments monitoring the atmosphere and the forest ecosystem (Data access: https://data.icos-cp.eu/portal) Data description: Raw data converted from DAT (.dat) to NetCDF (.nc) using command line program cl2nc (Kuma, 2024) on python (Kuma et al., 2021), and the converted files are provided. Data covers a time period between 23rd of July 2018 (14:00) and 31st of December 2024 (23:00). The variables included in the .nc files as well as the description and units can be found in the file Variable_description.tsv (tab separated values). Please see Vaisala CL51 user guide for more information regarding the variables: https://docs.vaisala.com/r/M210801EN-J/en-US (last access: 3rd February 2025) or https://github.com/peterkuma/cl2nc (last access: 3rd February 2025) The files are hourly files with the following naming AYMMDDHH in which the first two digits (AY) refer to the year i.e. A8 = 2018, A9 = 2019, A0= 2020, A1 = 2021, A2 = 2022, A3 = 2023 and A4 = 2024. The rest six (6) digits refer to month (MM), day (DD) and hour of the day (HH). Data resolution is approximately 10 seconds (can be set between 6-120 seconds based on the software manual) leading to 600 observations per hour if no data is missing Some variables (layer, layer_cloud_amount, layer_height, level, sky_detection_status, time, window_contamination) are sometimes missing, mostly in the older files. They are related to the "layer"-variables and are only produced if the ceilometers Sky Condition Algorithm is active, which has not been the case especially in the beginning.
