NCAR denoised MPD data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/636.007

Summary
MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidar (MPD) data in NetCDF format collected
by the MPD 3 during the Multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity horizontal array
turbulence study (M2HATS). The data was simultaneously denoised and processed
for temperature, water vapor and aerosol backscatter coefficient using the
Poisson Total Variation technique. While two MPDs were deployed to Nevada,
USA, for this field project, only data from MPD 3 was processed using this
enhanced technique due to hardware issues on MPD 2. Data from both MPDs
(processed with the standard technique) is linked as a companion dataset in
the "Related links" section below.
