CLAMPS-1 Doppler Lidar Wind Profile Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/569.013

Summary
This data set contains vertical profiles of horizontal wind speed and
direction obtained at 10 minute intervals using the velocity-asimuth-display
(VAD) technique from the Halo Streamline Doppler lidar that was part of the
Collaborative Lower Atmospheric Mobile Profiling System 1 (CLAMPS-1) system
that was deployed at the Courtland, Alabama airport for the Verification of
the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment-Southeast (VORTEX-SE)
Meso18-19 project. Included are the data in NetCDF format as well as quicklook
imagery.

There is a gap in this data set from 29 December 2018 to 15 January 2019 as
the lidar had frozen and repair was delayed due to the government shutdown.
