UAH MoDLS Doppler Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/558.028

Summary
This data set contains wind profile, vertical stare, and Velocity-Azimuth
Display (VAD) data from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) Doppler
Lidar during the 2018 VORTEX-SE field season. The Doppler Lidar is part of the
UAH Mobile Doppler Lidar and Soundings (MoDLS) system. The data set includes
the raw data and processed data.
