"rlprofmerge1turn" Value-Added Product (VAP)
Active Dates: 10/1/2004 to 9/30/2008.
Description: Merged analog and photon counting profiles used as input for other RLPROF VAPs
The Raman lidar's detection electronics were upgraded in May 2004 so that both analog and photon counting signals are collected simultaneously for all of the detection channels. The rlprof_merge VAP "merges" the photon counting and analog signals appropriately for each channel, creating an output data file that is very similar to the original raw data file format that the Raman lidar initially had. This VAP must be run before the other VAPs in the RLPROF family.
For more information, see the Raman Lidar Profiles - Merge web page.
