label: multiwavelength Raman lidar (en)

description: Instrument that transmits multiple-wavelength pulsed laser light into the atmosphere and collects the backscattered radiation at the laser wavelengths as well as the backscattered radiation from the atmospheric nitrogen due to the frequency shift of the transmitted light for more than one of the laser wavelengths. The system provides spatially resolved aerosol optical properties and aerosol geometrical features: i.e., layer height and thickness, and aerosol backscatter and extinction coefficient without reliance on a priori assumptions for more than one of the laser wavelengths.
