FP2 NASA/GSFC ALVICE Raman Lidar Data and Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.114

Summary
This data set contains water vapor mixing ratio profile and time series data
from the NASA/GSFC Atmospheric Laboratory for Validation, Interagency
Collaboration and Education (ALVICE) Raman lidar that was located at the PECAN
Fixed PISA 2 (FP2) site at Greensburg, Kansas. The time series data and
imagery are at 30 second resolution and the profile data and imagery are
available at most times of radiosonde releases at the FP2 site. The data are
in netcdf format and the imagery are in png format. Additional data and
imagery (including depolarization and aerosol) are planned to be added to this
data set later. If you order these data you will be notified when additions or
new versions become available.
