This data repository includes the processed vertically staring measurements (stare files) and the angled scans (profile files) necessary to calculate horizontal winds retrieved by the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) Doppler Lidar as a part of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative Urban Integrated Field Laboratory (BSEC UIFL). The PSU Doppler Lidar measures aerosol backscatter intensity (m-1 sr-1), signal-to-noise ratio, and radial velocity (i.e., vertical velocity in the case of stare files, units: m/s) at approximately 1 Hz temporal resolution and 30 m spatial resolution. Within the "stare_data" subdirectory there exist example figures of all retrieved data. For further information, please email Nicholas Prince, [e-mail].
