Reveal: Data Analysis Results from 2016 Jack Rabbit II Field Testing

Abstract

Spectral Sensor Solutions (S3) deployed two eye-safe elastic backscatter lidar systems in support of the Jack Rabbit II 2016 field experiment. The Real-timeEye-safe Visualization, Evaluation, and Analysis Lidar (REVEAL) technology is capable of simultaneously mapping/tracking aerosol plumes and deriving the 2-Dhorizontal wind vectors from the aerosol motion. The two systems, REVEAL-Prototype and REVEAL-5000, successfully collected chlorine aerosol relativeconcentration data from all four JRII 2016 chlorine releases. This data includes measurements of aerosol distributions in the plume jet region, measurements of themaximum height of a vertically released plume, an estimate of aerosol plume touch down location and time for the vertical plume and estimates of when the chlorineaerosols intercepted the aerosol point sensor station for all releases. Wind fields were also derived for some of the releases and example wind data is also presented.
