Raymetrics Raman Lidar
Mentor: N.N.
Principle
The Raymetrics raman lidar provides continuous (24/7), unattended day and night temperature, water vapor, backscatter coefficient and extinction profiling within the atmospheric boundary layer, through the entrainment zone and into the free troposphere, at a fixed location.
The system can measure the following parameters:
- Atmospheric temperature profile
- Water vapor mixing ratio profile
- Aerosol extinction, backscatter
- Depolarization coefficient profiles
