NOAA/ATDD Belle Mina, Alabama Doppler Lidar Vertical Wind, Backscatter and Cloud Base Height Data

Project:

VORTEX-SE_2016

Summary

This data set contains vertical wind and backscatter profiles as well as cloud base height data from the Leosphere WINDCUBE 100s Doppler Lidar that NOAA/ATDD deployed at Belle Mina, Alabama during the VORTEX-SE 2016 field campaign. This doppler lidar was deployed on 11 March 2016 after the CLAMPS doppler lidar stopped operations on 9 March. See the companion data set below for the CLAMPS doppler lidar observations from 2-9 March 2016. These data are in NetCDF format.
