| Abstract | The Lidar Radar Open Software Environment (LROSE) is a suite of high-performance C++ applications for format conversion, quality control, visualization, and analysis of weather radar and lidar data, developed over 30 years at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and Colorado State University (CSU). Distributed under a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license on GitHub, LROSE supports real-time and archival scientific analysis workflows. Future distribution via the conda-forge Python channel is planned. |
