The knowledge of thermodynamic profiles within the atmospheric boundary layer increases the understanding of processes that lead to cloud formation. Therefore, a variety of instruments are operated at JOYCE-CF to observe profiles of wind, humidity and temperature.

JOYCE-CF data products include comprehensive observations on the whole life cycle of clouds and precipitation. Besides single instrument observations, the main focus lies on synergetic products based on several observation methods, especially for classification of precipitation, clouds and boundary layer structure. Most datasets are available 24/7 and also raw data can be accessed on request.
