This data set contains measurements from a MicroPulse LIDAR (MPL) that is deployed at Summit Station, Greenland as part of the Integrated Characterization of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric state, and Precipitation at Summit (ICECAPS) Project. 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. Together these products will augment similar data sets that are produced at other locations across the Arctic.
