mocalum is a python package for Monte Carlo based lidar uncertainty modeling. It has the following features:

• Fast Monte Carlo uncertainty modeling
• Simulation of single or multi lidar configurations
• Configuration of arbitrary trajectories for single and multi lidars
• Configuration of IVAP (sector-scan) trajectory for single lidar
• 3D or 4D / uniform or turbulent flow field generation
• Sampling of correlated or uncorrelated uncertainty terms
• Built-in 2nd order kinematic model for calculation of trajectory timing
• 3D or 4D interpolation/projection of flow on lidar(s) line-of-sight(s)
• xarray datasets enriched with metadata
