This data collection unites the individual data sets of the COMPEX-EC (Clouds over cOMPlEX environment - EarthCARE) campaign, carried out in Kiruna 2.-16.4.2025. COMPEX-EC has been designed as an EarthCARE validation campaign. For that purpose, Polar 5 (C-GAWI) has been equipped with instrumentation similar to the one operated on EarthCARE (W-band radar, lidar, radiometers, spectral imagers). Seven research flights (summing up to more than 30 flight hours) were conducted each of them underflying the EarthCARE satellite to validate its performance.
