KIT Atmonsys Lidar Aerosol Backscatter Coefficients

KIT vertical staring elastic backscatter aerosol lidar channel for aerosol backscatter coefficients @532nm for the CHEESEHEAD field project are included in this dataset. The lidar was only operated if personnel present at site and no operations were performed during rain. For data availability see the chart at the end of the readme document.
