PREFERRED TERM
elastic lidar
DEFINITION
- Instrument that transmits single-wavelength pulsed laser light into the atmosphere and collects the backscattered radiation at the laser wavelength. The system provides spatially resolved aerosol optical properties and aerosol geometrical features: i.e., layer height and thickness, and aerosol backscatter coefficient at the laser wavelength using a priori assumptions and further ancillary information.
