NRC Convair 580 AECL Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/570.044

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.

This is a large dataset. Please limit your orders to 28 days for best results.
