GCIP/NESOB-96: BLC/MPL Cloud Composite Dataset

Summary

This dataset contains the GCIP/NESOB-96 ARMCART SGP Belfort Laser Ceiliometer (BLC) and MicroPulse Lidar (MPL) data for the NESOB-96 domain and time period. The BLC cloud heights contain a 110-meter upward vertical offset that has not been corrected in the data. These data were not quality controlled by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Joint Office for Science Support (UCAR/JOSS).
