MP3 University of Wisconsin SPARC HSRL Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.076 Summary This data set contains retrieved aerosol backscatter and depolarization at 30 second and 30 minute intervals from the HSRL (High Spectral Resolution Lidar) that was on-board the PECAN Mobile PISA 3 University of Wisconsin-Madison SPARC vehicle. The data are in NetCDF format and includes observations from locations around the central United States for most of the PECAN IOPs and UFOs from 11 June to 16 July 2015.
