NCAR GV-HSRL lidar data, CfRadial
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.021

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 SOCRATES (Southern Ocean Clouds,
Radiation, Aerosol Transport Experimental Study) project from 15 January 2018
to 24 February 2018. The data are in CfRadial format and are available as tar
archives. This data set contains all HSRL variables and is geared towards a
more advanced lidar data user. A data set which contains only the primary HSRL
variables at a 2Hz resolution (and also data from the HIAPER Cloud Radar
(HCR)) which is geared towards the general user is available at the link in
the "Related links" section below.
