NOAA/ATDD Belle Mina, Alabama Doppler Lidar Vertical Wind, Backscatter and
Cloud Base Height Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.010

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.
