Abstract
The University of Salford Doppler lidar data describes parameters measured by the UFAM (UK Universities Facilities for Atmospheric Measurements) Doppler lidar system, which is operated and maintained by the University of Salford. The data were collected at Faccombe wind turbine field site, Hampshire and collected data in July 2004. The dataset contains measurements of Doppler radial velocities.

| Data lineage: |
Data were collected by the 3 GHz (CAMRa) and 1275 clear-air (ACROBAT) radars at Chilbolton and used a number of the new UK Universities' Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) mobile instruments, in June, July and August of 2005. Data provided by Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) participants to the BADC for archiving. |
