M2HATS: NCAR MPD data

Summary

MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidar (MPD) data in NetCDF format which were collected during the Multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity horizontal array turbulence study (M2HATS). Two MPDs (MPD 2 and 3) were deployed to Nevada, USA, for this field project. Denoised data from MPD 3 is linked as a companion dataset in the "Related Links" section below.
