The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Montana State University jointly developed water vapor MicroPulse Differential absorption lidars (MPDs) that are a significant advance in eye-safe, unattended, lidar-based water vapor remote sensing. We perform Observation System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) to investigate MPD observation impact and its scientific significance of MPDs for convective weather analysis and predictions. In this study, the Data Assimilation Research Testbed (DART) and the Advanced Research version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-ARW) are used to conduct OSSEs for a case study of a mesoscale convective system (MCS). We will submit OSSE results to the Monthly Weather Review journal of the American Meteorological Society (AMS). As this Journal is committed to the FAIR principles, all data used in the manuscript must be archived and cited/referenced properly. The dataset also have persistent identifiers such as DOIs. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset https://gdex.ucar.edu/images/ds_logos/default_200_200.png Logo thumbnail from URL png HDF5/NetCDF4 dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral WRF > Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WATER VAPOR > WATER VAPOR PROFILES > VERTICALLY RESOLVED BACKSCATTER LIGHT U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-04-15 revision 23.7 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere 2015-07-15 2015-07-15 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 258780.987 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d583101/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d583101/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
