NCAR MPD data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/611.001 Summary MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidar (MPD) data in NetCDF format collected during the Preparatory Rockies Experiment for the Campaign In the Pacific 2021 (Pre-CIP_2021), a preparatory project for the Prediction of Rainfall Extremes Campaign In the Pacific (PRECIP). The data was collected by three MPD units between June 17 and August 20, 2021, in Ft. Collins, Colorado (MPD 5), at the NCAR Foothills campus in Boulder, Colorado (MPD 2) and the NCAR Marshall Field site near Boulder, Colorado, USA (MPD 3).
