Doppler lidar wind profiles from Rzecin during POLIMOS 2018

Description

This is data set includes Doppler wind lidar quantities which were calculated from measurements performed between May and September 2018 at PolWET site in Rzecin, Poland (52.75°N, 16.30°E, 59 m a.s.l.) of the Poznan University of Life Sciences

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 (VAD) with constant elevation of 70° and 12 equidistant azimuth points performed every 30 min. A more detailed description of the instrument can be found in (Ortiz-Amezcua et al., 2022)
