This dataset contains streamwise velocity retrieved from the Range Height Indicator (RHI) scans done by the UC Davis scanning Lidar. The quality control of the radial wind speed is performed following the algorithm of Beck & Kuhn (2017). Instantaneous realizations characterized by wind misalignment greater than 60 degrees (based on the closest VAD scan in time) are discarded.
This dataset contains wind profiles retrieved from 6-beam Velocity Azimuth Display (VAD) scans done by a Streamline XR Doppler Lidar operated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and deployed at the Tree Tops site (1.5 km South-West of MLBS site). The wind components (expressed as zonal, meridional and vertical) are retrieved through the algorithm of Paschke et al. (2015). The quality control of the radial wind speed is performed following the algorithm of Foken et al. (2004).

This dataset contains lidar data that have been standardized and quality-controlled through NREL/FIEXTA/LiDARGO (https://github.com/NREL/FIEXTA/tree/main/lidargo). Standardization rearranges the lidar data into convenient range vs beamID vs scanID coordinates that facilitates data analysis. The scan geometry (i.e., azimuth, elevation) is shifted on a regular grid based on the most likely angles within the scan file. Quality control of radial wind speed is performed through a generalized version of the dynamic lidar filter (Beck and Kuhn, 2017).

This dataset contains statistics (mean and standard deviation) calculated from quality-control lidar radial wind speed data through the LiSBOA method. This is an intermediate product for the synthesis of dual-Doppler wind maps.

In this paper, we present a chemical and kinematic analysis of two ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), Aquarius II (Aqu II) and Boötes II (Boo II), using Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy. We present the largest sample of member stars for Boo II (12), and the largest sample of red giant branch members with metallicity measurements for Aqu II (eight). In both UFDs, over 80% of targets selected based on Gaia proper motions turned out to be spectroscopic members. In order to maximize the accuracy of stellar kinematic measurements, we remove the identified binary stars and RR Lyrae variables. For Aqu II, we measure a systemic velocity of -65.3 ± 1.8 km s-1 and a metallicity of [Fe/H] = $-2.57^{+0.17}_{-0.17}$. When compared with previous measurements, these values display a ~6 km s -1 difference in radial velocity and a decrease of 0.27 dex in metallicity. Similarly for Boo II, we measure a systemic velocity of $-130.4^{+1.4}_{-1.1}$ km s -1 , more than 10 km s -1 different from the literature, a metallicity almost 1 dex smaller at [Fe/H] = $-2.71^{+0.11}_{-0.10}$, and a velocity dispersion 3 times smaller at σ v hel = $2.9^{+1.6}_{-1.2}$km s -1 . Additionally, we derive systemic proper-motion parameters and model the orbits of both UFDs. Finally, we highlight the extremely dark-matter-dominated nature of Aqu II and compute the J-factor for both galaxies to aid searches of dark matter annihilation. Despite the small size and close proximity of Boo II, it is an intermediate target for the indirect detection of dark matter annihilation due to its low-velocity dispersion and corresponding low dark matter density.
