The ARM Facility currently operates several scanning coherent Doppler lidar systems at various sites around the globe. These instruments operate in the near infrared and provide measurements of radial velocity, attenuated aerosol backscatter, and signal-to-noise ratio. Previously shared with the ARM user community as an evaluation product, these data are now in production and available…

Vertically resolved wind measurements are crucial for numerical weather prediction and for modeling pollutant and aerosol transport. The scanning, coherent Doppler lidars operated by the ARM Facility have the capability of providing accurate, high-resolution wind measurements within the atmospheric boundary layer. A new Doppler lidar wind profile value-added product (VAP) is available as an evaluation…
