1.  Dataset Overview
    - These data were collected by a Halo-Photonics scanning doppler LiDAR as part of the Collaborative Lower Atmospheric Mobile Profiling System (CLAMPS).

2.  Instrument Description 
    - Halo Photonics Streamline Scanning Doppler Lidar System
    - Platform: CLAMPS
3.  Data Collection and Processing
    - The operational scan strategy consisted of a cross-valley RHI, an along valley-RHI, a 24-point 70 deg PPI, and a vertical stare period. This sequence was done every 15 minutes starting at the top of the hour. Later in the experiment (20170530), a 12 point 45 degree PPI was added to the sequence and the 70 deg PPI was reduced to 12 points.
