Air Force Geophysics Laboratory's (AFGL) Mobile CO2 Doppler Lidar

Abstract

A mobile, pulsed, coherent, Doppler CO2 lidar is being developed at Air Force Geophysics Lab. The system will be used to develop real-time techniques for determining wind field structures and evaluating aerosol backscatter measurements over path lengths of 1 km to 20 km range. Originator-supplied key words include: CO2 laser, Doppler lidar, Remote measurement of wind fields, Aerosol backscatter measurement, and Real-time analysis of lidar data.
