Polar mesospheric clouds from the Balloon Lidar Experiment (BOLIDE) during the PMC Turbo balloon mission
This dataset contains BOLIDE lidar data obtained during the PMC Turbo balloon mission that was launched on 7 July 2018 from Esrange, Sweden and landed in Nunavut, Canada on 14 July 2018. The mission was designed to study small-scale atmospheric dynamics induced by breaking atmospheric gravity waves...
