LROSE - Lidar Radar Open Software Environment

LROSE is a set of tools to edit, analyze, and visualize LIDAR and RADAR data.

History

LROSE is a joint project between the Atmospheric Science Department at Colorado State University (CSU) and the Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

In 2016, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded LROSE for four years.

User documentation

The primary purpose of this repository is to centralize the user documentation for the LROSE applications.

Some of the user documentation resides in other locations, and links will be provided where appropriate.

An overview of the documentation resides in lrose-core at:
