Main project repository : disdrodb
This repository contains the DISDRODB Metadata Archive: metadata and urls to download raw disdrometer measurements from the DISDRODB Decentralized Data Archive.
DISDRODB is part of an initial effort to index, collect and homogenize drop size distribution (DSD) data sets across the globe, as well as to establish a global standard for disdrometers observations data sharing. DISDRODB standards are being established following FAIR data best practices and Climate & Forecast (CF) conventions, and will facilitate the preprocessing, analysis and visualization of disdrometer data.
The directory structure is composed of many <DATA_SOURCE> (i.e. EPFL) that contain one or many <CAMPAIGN_NAME>(i.e. HYMEX_LTE_SOP3).
Every campaign has one or many stations.

Each metadata YAML file contains relevant information of the station (e.g. type of device, position, disdrodb reader, disdrodb data url, …) which is required for the correct integration and processing into DISDRODB.
Each issue YAML file reports timesteps or time periods with instrument malfunctioning and measurements errors that must be discarded when processing the data.
