R/V Ron Brown Mini-MOPA Doppler Lidar - Leg 2
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/72.076

Summary
Vertical Profiles of wind velocity and direction are produced from doppler
lidar mearsurements taken aboard the Ron Brown from Oct 08 to Oct 22 2001. The
VAD technique (Browning and Wexler, 1968) was employed to process wind
information taken in scanning mode to produce the high-resolution vertical
profiles. All velocities are in m/s and heights in meter.
