ETL Radar-Lidar 10-min Cloud Physical Properties [Shupe, M., J. Intrieri, T.
Uttal]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.118

Summary
Data set combines radar, lidar, and radiosonde measurements to give a
comprehensive view of cloud boundaries, locations, and temperatures for the
SHEBA annual cycle. Information includes: best estimated low cloud base and
high cloud top, total cloud thickness, total number of cloud layers, the
presence and location of liquid in the atmospheric column and temperatures at
all relevant heights.
