SSEC SPARC HSRL Aerosol Backscatter, Optical Depth, and other Optical
Properties
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/592.022

Summary
This dataset contains the SSEC Portable Atmospheric Research Center (SPARC)
High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) Aerosol Backscatter, Optical Depth, and
other Optical Properties data from the Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem
Energy-balance Study Enabled by a High-density Extensive Array of Detectors
(CHEESEHEAD) field project. The SSEC SPARC was deployed at the WLEF-TV tall
tower site for the duration of CHEESEHEAD. Among the instruments deployed
aboard SPARC was a HSRL from which absolutely-calibrated high temporal
resolution profiles of aerosol and molecular backscatter can be obtained.
Included in this dataset are derived quantities from the HSRL capturing
aerosol, molecular, and total, backscatter, optical depth, and other optical
properties. For more information regarding the instrument description and data
processing, please see the readme file.
