M2HATS: NCAR denoised MPD data. Version 1.0

MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidar (MPD) data in NetCDF format collected by the MPD 3 during the Multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity horizontal array turbulence study (M2HATS). The data was simultaneously denoised and processed for temperature, water vapor and aerosol backscatter coefficient using the Poisson Total Variation technique. While two MPDs were deployed to Nevada, USA, for this field project, only data from MPD 3 was processed using this enhanced technique due to hardware issues on MPD 2. Data from both MPDs (processed with the standard technique) is linked as a companion dataset in the "Related links" section below.

本数据集为微脉冲差分吸收激光雷达（MicroPulse Differential Absorption Lidar, MPD）数据，格式为NetCDF（网络通用数据格式），由MPD 3设备在多点莫宁-奥布霍夫相似性水平阵列湍流研究（Multi-point Monin-Obukhov similarity horizontal array turbulence study, M2HATS）期间采集得到。本次研究采用泊松总变分技术，对数据同时完成降噪处理，并反演得到温度、水汽和气溶胶后向散射系数。本次外场试验共部署两台MPD设备前往美国内华达州，但因MPD 2出现硬件故障，仅MPD 3的数据采用该增强型技术完成处理。两台MPD设备（采用标准技术处理）的配套数据集已收录于下文“相关链接”板块中。
