Abstract: The temperature dependence of molecular backscatter coefficients must be taken into account when narrowband interference filters are used in lidar measurements. Thus, the spectral backscatter differential cross section of ...

Abstract: An improved measurement methodology and a data-processing technique for multiangle data obtained with an elastic scanning lidar in clear atmospheres are introduced. Azimuthal and slope scans are combined to reduce the ...

Abstract: A high-performance Raman lidar operating in the UV portion of the spectrum has been used to acquire, for the first time using a single lidar, simultaneous airborne profiles of the water vapor mixing ratio, aerosol backscatter, ...
