Combined Dual Tail Doppler Radars and Compact Raman Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/558.058

Summary
Data from the NOAA Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) and University of Colorado Compact
Raman Lidar (CRL) that were onboard the NOAA P-3 aircraft for flights around
the southeastern United States for the Verification of the Origins of Rotation
in Tornadoes Experiment Southeast (VORTEX-SE) 2018 campaign. Measurements
include reflectivity and 3D winds from the TDR and profiles of temperature and
mixing ratio from the CRL.
