Meas. Tech. Discuss. [preprint], https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-2022-212, in review, 2022. --------------------- DATA & FILE OVERVIEW --------------------- This dataset is separated into 3 different folders, each with dedicated README file. All submitted netCDF files in the level 1 and level 2 dataset are self-documented and follows more or less the Climate Forecast (CF) conventions. They are all geolocated (time, latitute, longitude and altitude) and contain more meta-data in the global attributes. In addition, a detailed description of the time series is available together with list of main events in the "Documentation" folder. -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- All the methods and routines used to produce these data are described in 2 research reports published in the BORIS publication database (https://boris.unibe.ch/). The first one describe the calibration of the raw data to get the level 1 dataset: Sauvageat E., Calibration routine for ground-based passive microwave radiometer: a user guide, 2021 https://boris.unibe.ch/164418/ DOI: 10.48350/164418 The second one describe the retrieval of the calibrated data to get the level 2 and 3 dataset: Sauvageat E., Harmonized ozone profile retrievals from GROMOS and SOMORA, 2022 https://boris.unibe.ch/170121/ DOI: 10.48350/170121
