NRC Convair 580 AECL Lidar Data

Project:

Summary

 

AECL (Airborne Elastic Cloud Lidar) data from two AECL instruments onboard the NRC Convair 580 during the ICICLE (In-Cloud ICing and Large-drop Experiment) field campaign based out of Rockford, Illinois (USA) from 18 January - 8 March 2019. The AECL is a compact single wavelength airborne elastic lidar operating at 355nm used for the retrieval of vertical profiles of atmospheric properties, such as scattering and extinction properties of clouds and aerosols.
