\section{Site description}  \label{site_desc}  \subsection{Location}  Wollongong, Australia is situated on a narrow coastal plain bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the east and a steep sandstone precipice to the west. Wollongong, population \textasciitilde300,000, is located approximately 82 kilometres south of Sydney (population \textasciitilde4.6 million). The measurement site is located at the University of Wollongong (34.406$^{\circ}$S, 150.879$^{\circ}$E, 30 m above sea level). The escarpment to the west rises approximately 400 m within 2 km of the measurement site, making Wollongong a challenging site for satellite validation.
