The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | SPLASH Field Study; CLAMPS2 Doppler Lidar VAD Data (NCEI Accession 0304717) |
| Abstract: | These files contain 24-hour periods of data collected from the CLAMPS2 Halo Streamline XR+ Doppler lidar. The Doppler lidar conducts regular conical scans at a set elevation angle. These data are then passed through a typical VAD algorithm to retrieve horizontal wind speed and direction profiles. These data were collected during the SPLASH project. Data collection and processing: For the SPLASH campaign, the CLAMPS2 Doppler lidar collected PPI scans at 60 deg elevation every 5 minutes. The Doppler lidar provides range-resolved, line-of-sight measurements of radial velocity, intensity (signal-to-noise ratio [SNR]+1), and attenuated backscatter. In the case of PPI scans meant for VAD analysis, these data are passed through a VAD code to produce profiles of horizontal wind speed and direction. Vertical velocity is also provided, but it is not as high quality as vertical velocity more directly measured by vertical stares. The provided files provide the intensity field (SNR+1), which can be used as a ‘filter’ for noise. A good rule of thumb cutoff is 1.01. Data format: Data are provided in netcdf format. The typical naming convention is clampsdlvad1turnC2.c1.YYYYMMDD.HHmmss.cdf, following closely to ARM file naming convention. The files have time and height dimensions. |
