FP2 UMBC Doppler Lidar Line of Sight Wind Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.041

Summary
This data set contains the line of sight wind observations from the UMBC
Leosphere 200S Doppler Lidar that was located at the PECAN Fixed PISA 2 site
in Greensburg, Kansas. The data files are in the default tab-delimited format
of the Leosphere software. Also included in this data set are jpg imagery
files of the PPI and RHI scans.

Versions
  1.0
  1.1: For this version the only change was an updated readme file that notes
that a constant radial velocity bias of +0.5 m/s was found after the
completion of PECAN operations and users should be sure to subtract this
offset from the radial velocity before doing any calculations.
