Abstract

This data repository includes the processed vertically staring measurements (stare files) made 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. Future updates will include angled scans, sky cam images, example figures, and the original .hpl files. For further information, please email Nicholas Prince, nec5299@psu.edu.

PSU-BSEC Doppler Lidar Processed Scans

Dataset Prince, Nicholas E. ; Miller, David O. ; Ahlswede, Benjamin ; ...

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 Nicholasmore » Prince, nec5299@psu.edu.« less
Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) Doppler Lidar & Derived Products

Dataset Prince, Nicholas E. ; Miller, David O. ; Ahlswede, Benjamin ; ...

This repository contains all processed Doppler‐lidar outputs from the PSU lidar deployed for the Baltimore Social‐Environmental Collaborative (BSEC) project. Vertical Stare Scans (fixed‐beam, vertical profiling): 1 Hz backscatter intensity (m⁻¹ sr⁻¹), signal‐to‐noise ratio (unitless), and Doppler vertical‐velocity (m s⁻¹) on ~30 m range gates, stored as CF-compliant NetCDF. Wind Profiles (horizontal‐wind retrieval): daily NetCDF outputs of retrieved horizontal wind speed (m s⁻¹) and direction (degrees), computed from the angled‐scan returns. Profile Statistics (summary statistics on the vertical velocity): 15 min windows (default) of mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, high-frequency variance, etc., as a function of height; saved as CF-compliant NetCDF files.more »« less
Lidar - ND Halo Scanning Doppler, Boardman - Processed Data

Dataset Fernando, Joe ; Otarola-Bustos, Sebastian ; Leo, Laura ; ...

The University of Notre Dame (ND) scanning LiDAR dataset used for the WFIP2 Campaign is provided. The LiDAR is a Halo Photonics Stream Line Scanning Doppler LiDAR. **It is highly recommended to discuss any planned use of these data with University of Notre Dame scientists**. For more information refer to the attached "WFIP2 Project (lidar.z07)" Readme file.
CACO Site - ANL Scanning Doppler Lidar / Processed Data

Dataset Jackson, Robert

This dataset contains processed, standardized data from the ANL scanning Doppler lidar, consisting of range- and time-resolved measurements of radial velocity, attenuated backscatter, intensity, and spectral width. We note that the beam azimuth angles are NOT referenced to true north.
