NSSL Mobile Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/613.013

Summary
Vertical profiles of horizontal winds and vertical velocities measured by the
NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) mobile lidar that participated
in the TORUS (Targeted Observations using Radars and UAS in Supercells) 2022
campaign over the plains region of the United States. There were two NSSL Halo
Streamline Doppler lidars on the truck one primarily for vertical stares for
vertical velocity and the other performing off-zenith scans for horizontal
winds. All data are in NetCDF format and quick look imagery are also included.
