University of Wyoming King Air Compact Raman Lidar Data

This data set contains the observations from the Compact Raman Lidar (CRL) that was deployed on the University of Wyoming King Air for PECAN. The CRL provided water vapor, temperature, and aerosol profiles along the King Air flight track. The King Air flew at locations around the central United States during PECAN observing periods. This data set includes the CRL data for each flight, sample IDL code to read and plot the data, as well as quicklook imagery for each flight.
