Validation Campaign at Heligoland

Setup of the validation campaign.

Here you can find some notebooks that were created for validation of the Sea Surface Calibration (SSC) in the manuscript:

Paul Julian Meyer, Andreas Rott, Jörge Schneemann, Lukas Pauscher, Kira Gramitzky, Martin Kühn: Experimental validation of the Sea Surface Calibration for scanning lidar static elevation offset determination, Torque 2026 (in preparation)

The data, that is required to reproduce the results of the manuscript, is available in the associated dataset:

Meyer, P. J., Rott, A., & Schneemann, J. (2026). Scanning Wind lidar measurement data as supplement to “Experimental validation of the Sea Surface Calibration for scanning lidar static elevation offset determination” (1.0) [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18698332

The notebooks are available in the applications folder of the repository.
