What the package does
- Discover and convert Licel RAW measurements to NetCDF.
- Apply core preprocessing corrections and quicklook generation.
- Generate synthetic elastic, Raman and depolarization signals.
- Validate retrieval algorithms with explicit physical assumptions.
- Keep generic utilities separate from lidar-specific helpers.

Synthetic validation
Synthetic signals are used as a compact reference system for checking lidar-ratio consistency, wavelength scaling, transmittance, depolarization ratios and retrieval behavior.
Retrieval boundaries
Retrieval tests compare against synthetic truth only where the underlying assumptions are explicit, including reference intervals and lower-boundary particle optical depth.
