NSSL Mobile Lidar Truck Doppler Lidar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/626.047

Summary
VAD (Velocity Azimuth Display) observations from the NSSL Mobile Lidar Truck
Doppler Lidar that was deployed at locations around the southeast United
States for the four PERiLS_2022 deployments on 3, 24-25, and 31 March and 1
and 5 April 2023.

The dataset currently contains just the VAD data. The vertical stare data will
be added later. Observations are available from 3, 24, 25, and 31 March and 1
and 5 April 2023.
