Abstract:In meteorological and climatological fields, the scientific community will increasingly need global measurements of key atmospheric parameters with high spatial resolution (horizontal as well as vertical): the future spaceborne lidars are most suitable instruments for those missions. The next spaceborne applications of lidars are related to "simple" backscatter lidars (ATLID type, currently studied at ESA); the following generation of potentially spaceborne lidars will be DIAL and Doppler wind lidars, presenti… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
