NCAR GV-HSRL lidar data, NetCDF
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.035

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 NetCDF format and are available as hourly
files. This data set is intended for the expert user. The data is also
available in CfRadial format at the link in the "Related links" section below.
The NetCDF data is in a range centered format similar to that of the CfRadial
data. However, the NetCDF contains data processing variables that are not
necessarily needed by end users and does not have all its variables and
metadata in line with the current CfRadial standard and cannot be read by
display programs such as HawkEye. In general, data users should use the
HSRL-HCR merged data or HSRL only CfRadial data linked below unless there is
need for the underlying signals (and in those instances users are still
strongly encouraged to contact EOL Data Support to ensure observational data
provided is meeting the criteria of the user).
