FP6 University of Manitoba Doppler Lidar VAD Winds Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.036

Summary
This data set contains the data from the Leosphere 200S Doppler Lidar that was
located at the PECAN Fixed PISA 6 site at Hesston, Kansas when it was
collecting plane-parallel-indicator (PPI) scans at 60 degrees elevation. The
data were processed by the velocity azimuth display (VAD) technique by Dave
Turner (NOAA/NSSL). There are both daily netCDF data files and daily png
imagery files in this data set.

  2.0: For this version released on 13 October 2016 a bug was fixed in the code
that applies the VAD that affected the height array of the horizontal
wind fields in the VAD data product.
