This data set contains measurements from a Cloud and Aerosol Polarization and Backscatter Lidar (CAPABL) system that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland. This lidar points near-vertically and measures backscatter in three polarization states. Parameters include: backscatter in the parallel chan...
