Spi, Kuh, And Mcm Derived Lidar T Datasets

These datasets are used within Dawkins <em>et al.</em>, 'Validation of SABER v2.0 Operational Temperature Data with Ground-based Lidars in the Mesosphere-Lower Thermosphere Region (75-105 km).'The datasets correspond to the derived Spitsbergen, Kühlungsborn, and McMurdo temperature (T, units: K) datasets presented within the paper. Each text file contains header information necessary for interpreting the data, with each following a standard format.<br>
<br>
For each season, the dataset comprises of 31 rows, and 5 columns.<br>
All rows correspond to altitudes: 75-105 km, at 1 km increments.<br>
Column 1 = lidar mean for season [Units=K]<br>
Column 2 = lidar standard deviation of mean for season [Units=K]<br>
Column 3 = combined SABER and lidar error for season [Units=K]<br>
Column 4 = standard deviation of individual (SABER-lidar) colocated pairs. [Units=K]<br>
Column 5 = T difference of seasonal means (SABER-lidar) [Units=K]<br>
<br>
Also contains dataset presenting Figure 12 (n rows, 2 columns). Column 1: all SABER T data for all altitudes. Column 2: corresponding lidar T data. n rows corresponds to number of SABER-lidar T data pairs. All units: K.<br>

DJF = December-January-February.
MAM = March-April-May.
