Additional information

Identifier	DOI: https://doi.org/10.5065/D6862DHX
Data Quality	final
Versions	1.0 (2015-10-29) 2.0 (2016-10-17): This version released on 13 October 2016 fixes a sign reversal on the vertical velocity data, so a positive vertical velocity is now associated with motion away from the lidar (i.e. updrafts) which now matches the convention used for the other PECAN Doppler lidar datasets. (Only the current version of the data is available to order. If you have questions about a prior version, please email us.)
