1. Summary

This data set contains observations obtained by a lidar onboard the R/V Mirai. The lidar transmits wavelength of 1,064 mm, 532 mm, and 355 mm in 10 Hz, and detects elastic scattering of these wavelengths up to 21 km. The lidar divides 532 mm and 355 mm signals into parallel and perpendicular components to capture depolarization properties. It also collects water vapor and nitrogen Raman signals.
