dc.description.abstractThe article presents high-resolution observations of winter precipitation in the region surrounding the National Astronomical Observatory (NAO) Rozhen, Bulgaria, at an altitude of 1,730 meters above sea level, during the 2023–2025 period. Utilizing an array of advanced meteorological instruments, including the OTT Pluvio²L, Parsivel² disdrometer, WS100 radar sensor, and SHM31 snow depth sensor, we captured detailed in-situ data on precipitation type, intensity, and duration. The integrated sensor system enabled the classification and quantification of various precipitation events such as snow, rain, drizzle, and hail with minute-level resolution. The study features multiple precipitation-related variables, including total amount, intensity, and precipitation type. Seasonal and daily variations in precipitation behavior were documented, with snow dominating the winter period but often accompanied by mixed-phase events. The dataset supports enhanced understanding of precipitation dynamics in mountainous terrain and offers potential for model calibration, climate profiling, and natural air purification assessments. All data is provided in FAIR-compliant formats to support further research and environmental monitoring efforts.
