  • New Lidar Evaluation Data Product Provides Aerosol Features

    The plot shows the aerosol features identified from the high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) at the Southern Great Plains (SGP) atmospheric observatory on November 9, 2020. Panel a shows the particulate backscatter coefficient, and panel b is the associated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Panel c is the reflectivity factor from the Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR), and panel…
