Airborne Compact Raman Lidar (CRL) Water Vapor and Temperature Profiles

Project:

CHEESEHEAD

Summary

Compact Raman Lidar (CRL) measurements of water vapor and temperature profiles from the University of Wyoming King Air (UWKA) aircraft during the Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy-balance Study Enabled by a High-density Extensive Array of Detectors (CHEESEHEAD) project IOPs are provided. The three IOP periods are July 9-13, Aug 20-23, and Sep 24-29. During these IOPs, UWKA conducted pre-defined cross-wind legs at ~400 m and 100 m the ground around the central tall tower site (45.9459, -90.2723; 470 m). Due to the limitations of CRL overlaps, data from 100m legs are challenging to process. Thus, only water vapor and temperature profiles from the 400-m legs are archived here.
