NSSL Mobile Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/577.013

Summary
This data set contains the observations from the NOAA/National Severe Storms
Laboratory (NSSL) mobile lidar that participated in the TORUS (Targeted
Observations using Radars and UAS in Supercells) 2019 campaign over the plains
region of the United States. Depending on the deployment it could contain the
vertical stare vertical velocity data, the Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD)
horizontal wind profiles, and/or the Range Height Indicator (RHI) radial
velocity data. All data are in NetCDF format.
