NCAR MPD data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/597.001

Summary
Data from five MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidars (MPDs) collected
during MPD-NetDemo field campaign. The data was collected at the US Department
of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) facility Southern Great
Plains (SGP) field site. This is an engineering dataset. Several problems
remain in the data and it should be used with caution and in collaboration
with the NCAR lidar group for scientific analysis (see contact below).
