Abstract

This paper describes a ground-based pulsed Cloud-Aerosol Lidar system for providing a backscatter laser signal at both wavelengths 532 and 1064 nm, from which aerosol and cloud profiles are derived. The Lidar system is installed on the roof of a building in a monostatic biaxial configuration. Test measurements show that the Lidar system is capable of resolving cloud structure and identifying the presence of aerosols from the ground up to a distance of 15 km. The performance of the Lidar system is considered adequate for routine measurements. This paper provides information on the basic features and performance of the Lidar system. The measurements confirm the excellent sensitivity of the detection chain. Recent improvements in the Lidar detection chain with improved dynamic range are also discussed.
