How to cite this Dataset

Description

Dataset contains a summary of rainfall episode characteristics spanning the study period 2018-2020 at Al Ain International Airport (24°15' N, 55°37' E). Cloud position and cloud base PTU (pressure, temperature, and relative humidity) conditions, rainfall times and durations, in addition to surface conditions and derived rain droplet size and fall speeds. Ceilometer backscatter profile and potential gradient measurements for 15/03/2019 are included as a case study as used in Airey, M.W. et al. (2021), 'Characteristics of desert precipitation in the UAE derived from a ceilometer dataset', Atmosphere 12, 1245.
