Wuhan University researchers led by Yun He produced lidar temperature data for atmospheric refraction correction. The data is intended for use in millimeter-level precision lunar laser ranging experiments. The dataset is available under an Open Access license.
Use Cases
- Correct atmospheric refraction in lunar laser ranging data based on temperature profiles.
- Validate atmospheric models for lunar observation based on lidar-derived temperature data.
- Improve the precision of Earth-Moon distance measurements based on atmospheric correction data.
Strengths
- Data is specifically designed for millimeter-level precision applications.
- Dataset is associated with a research institution (Wuhan University) and an author.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
Provenance
- Source
- Yun He, Wuhan University
- Collection Method
- Likely gathered via PRR lidar instrumentation.
