The dataset contains daily nc-files of the Cloudnet target classification during Polarstern cruise PS106 based on:- 35.5 GHz Cloud radar MIRA,- Multiwavelength Raman polarization lidar PollyXT,- Polarstern radiosonde data- OceanRAIN optical disdrometer ODM470,- Microwave radiometer.The data is retrieved using the instrument synergystic approach Cloudnet (Illingworth, 2007 https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/BAMS-88-6-883 ).This variable is a simplification of the bitfield \"category_bits\" in the target categorization and data quality dataset. It provides the 9 main atmospheric target classifications that can be distinguished by radar and lidar.Target_classification:definition = 0: Clear sky, 1: Cloud droplets only, 2: Drizzle or rain, 3: Drizzle/rain & cloud droplets, 4: Ice, 5: Ice & supercooled droplets, 6: Melting ice, 7: Melting ice & cloud droplets, 8: Aerosol, 9: Insects.
