The dataset contains plots of the attenuated backscatter coefficient at different heights, and of the depolarization ratio of particles. The dataset contains: Plots of the attenuated backscatter coefficient at different heights, and of the depolarization ratio of particles. Atmospheric backscatter light intensity (raw data) Solid angle and background calibrated data Vertical backscatter and extinction profile Vertical Aerosol profile Planetary Boundary Layer and residual layer heights Semi-transparent cloud height and top Optical depth integrated over whole Lidar range Dynamic structure of the atmosphere (e.g gravity waves...) Asphericity information on the particle in order to discriminate some particles from others (soil dust from other aerosol, ice/water phase of the clouds…) Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) author unknown author Chilbolton Facility for Atmospheric and Radio Research (CFARR) author unknown author Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) author 01793 411500 Polaris House North Star Avenue Swindon SN2 1EU United Kingdom unknown author Wrench, Charles Leonard Unavailable author Unavailable author NCAS British Atmospheric Data Centre (NCAS BADC) custodian +44(0)1235 446432 British Atmospheric Data Centre STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxford OX11 0QX UK badc@rl.ac.uk custodian NCAS British Atmospheric Data Centre (NCAS BADC) distributor +44(0)1235 446432 British Atmospheric Data Centre STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Harwell Oxford OX11 0QX UK badc@rl.ac.uk distributor Baran, A.J.
