This data set contains files of individual atmospheric temperature profiles from 40-80 km measured at Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR), Chatanika, Alaska (65.1 N, 147.5 W). The temperature profiles are retrieved from lidar echo data using standard retrieval methods that employ downward data integrat...
