Doppler lidar wind profiles from Granada

  • 1. University of Granada (Spain)

Description

This is data set includes Doppler wind lidar quantities which were calculated from measurements performed between 2016 and 2020 at Andalusian Global Observatory of the Atmosphere, AGORA, in particular, at the UGR station, Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA) in Granada, Spain (37.16ºN, 3.61ºW, 680 m a.s.l.).

The system is a Doppler lidar Stream Line (Halo Photonics), which is part of ACTRIS-Cloudnet (Illingworth et al., 2007). The system laser emits at 1.5 μm and the detector is heterodyne using fiber-optic technology. The measurements for this data set consisted of conical scans with constant elevation of 75° and 12 equidistant azimuth points performed every 10 min. A more detailed description of the instrument can be found in (Ortiz-Amezcua et al., 2022)
