CFACT: NCAR/EOL ISS Windcube Lidar VAD Winds

Summary

Leosphere Windcube Lidar product collected by the EOL/Integrated Sounding System team during the Cold Fog Amongst Complex Terrain (CFACT) field campaign in Heber Valley, Utah. Wind profiles are calculated using a Velocity-Azimuth Display (VAD) technique described in the data quality report. Thresholds were applied to various lidar parameters as a method of quality control.
