TRIPEX was the first  a 2-month dataset of ground-based triple-frequency (X, Ka, and W band) Doppler radar observations during the winter season obtained at the Jülich ObservatorY for Cloud Evolution Core Facility (JOYCE-CF) in 2015/2016.
TRIPEx-pol was a follow-on campaign of the first triple-frequency campaign (TRIPEx; Dias Neto et al., 2019) including a new X Band Doppler profiling radar with enhanced sensitivity. JOYCE-CF was recently extended to a full triple-frequency radar site including permanent installations of X, Ka, and W band cloud Doppler radars. In addition, a number of auxiliary sensors including a Pluvio rain gauge and Parsivel optical disdrometer are installed only a few meters from the radars.
