NCAR GV-HSRL lidar data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/487.016

Summary
High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) data collected aboard the NSF/NCAR GV
HIAPER (Gulfstream-V High-performance Instrumented Airborne Platform for
Environmental Research) (N677F) during the CSET (Cloud Systems Evolution in
the Trades) project from 1 July 2015 to 12 August 2015. The data are in
cfRadial format and are available as daily tar archives.

Identifiers
 * Local archive identifier: 487.016
 * doi:10.5065/D63N21JR

Versions
  1.0
  2.0: This dataset is provided at higher temporal resolution (2Hz). The raw
photon counts were processed using Block Matching 3D (BM3D) to
adaptively scale the photon count image resolution based on correlated
structure in the image.
