Data portal

Open atmospheric datasets.

All field data collected by LADAR is freely available — no registration, no embargo, no fees. Science belongs to everyone.

◎
No data yet. LADAR has not yet commenced field operations. This portal will be populated as data collection begins, beginning with Stack 1 atmospheric profiling datasets.

Data portal launching with Stack 1

Temperature, humidity, pressure, IMU, and GPS datasets from vertical profiling campaigns will be the first outputs available here.

What to expect

How the data portal will work.

When operational, this portal will provide direct access to raw sensor logs, processed atmospheric fields, and reconstructed volumetric datasets.

⬇

Direct download

Datasets available as CSV, netCDF, and JSON formats. No account required. All files include complete metadata, calibration records, and flight logs.

◈

Campaign browser

Browse data by campaign date, location, stack configuration, and sensor type. Each campaign page includes flight path visualisations and summary statistics.

⬡

Reconstructed fields

In addition to raw sensor logs, processed volumetric field reconstructions will be available with associated uncertainty estimates and reconstruction metadata.
