VOCALS: NSF/NCAR C130 Radar, Lidar and Radiometer Integrated Dataset

Summary

This data set consists of Integrated Data of remotely-sensed cloud variables from cloud radar, lidar and millimeter-wave radiometer taken aboard the NCAR C-130 during the VOCALS project. An integrated data file in netCDF format has been created for each flight. Flight dates and times are displayed when ordering. The Principle Investigators request that the use of this data be acknowledged within any publication and the appropriate contact person notified. Use of the GVR data should also include a citation to the publication mentioned in the WCRWCLGVRreadme.text file.
