MP3 University of Wisconsin SPARC Doppler Lidar VAD Wind Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.084

Summary
This data set contains the Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) wind data from the
ARM Halo Streamline Doppler Lidar that was included in the PECAN Mobile PISA 3
University of Wisconsin SPARC facility. Data were collected from locations
around the central United States during PECAN observing periods. There are
both daily netCDF data files and daily quicklook images included in this data
set.
