Description
Summary:This data set contains measurements from a MicroPulse Lidar (MPL) system that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland. This lidar points near-vertically and measures backscatter and depolarization ratio. Detailed information on these parameters and other aspects of the dataset are included in the netCDF header information for each file. The lidar is owned by the US Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program. Field operations support is provided by the National Science Foundation's Arctic Observing Network (AON) Program.
