CLAMPS-2 Doppler Lidar Wind Profile Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/569.014

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 2 (CLAMPS-2) system
that was deployed at the Cullman, 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 10-21 March 2019.
