OU/NSSL CLAMPS Belle Mina, Alabama Doppler Lidar Vertical Wind, Backscatter
and Cloud Base Height Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.013

Summary
This data set contains vertical wind and backscatter profiles as well as cloud
base height data from the Halo Streamline Doppler Lidar that was deployed as
part of the OU/NSSL CLAMPS system at Belle Mina, Alabama during the VORTEX-SE
2016 field campaign. This doppler lidar was deployed on 2 March 2016 and
collected data until 9 March when it failed. Starting on 11 March the
NOAA/ATDD doppler lidar was deployed beside the CLAMPS system for the
remainder of the 2016 field season. Those data are available as the Companion
data set listed below. These data are in NetCDF format.
