RICO Mini-MOPA Lidar data

January 17, 2005 - Lidar vertically staring measurements


Each pair of images below show return Signal strength (wide band SNR in dB)(top) and Doppler lidar vertical velocity in m/s (bottom). Tick marks indicate x km spacing and all velocities are in m/s. The cool colors show flow toward the lidar (downdrafts) and the warm colors indicate flow away from the lidar (updrafts).
