TL;DR: In this article, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) was proposed to retrieve the sought-after optical parameters as time-range-dependent functions and track the atmospheric evolution, its performance being only limited by the quality and availability of the 'a priori' information and the accuracy of the atmospheric model assumed.

TL;DR: An extensive review of wind lidar techniques with a special emphasis on the direct Doppler technique and the direct motion technique with a lines-of-sight scanning pattern is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a sensitivity analysis of an aerosol radiative transfer model as a function of dust particle properties and showed that the model is sensitive to the following parameters: aerosol size and refractive index, aerosol vertical distribution, humidity, surface temperature and albedo.

TL;DR: In this article, a general methodology for a spectroscopic continuous-wave, frequency-modulated ladar (CW-FM-ladar) concept based on principles of both CW-FM range-finding and modulation spectroscopy, together with modern techniques of optical signal transmission using tunable laser diodes, signal detection and heterodyne processing is presented.

TL;DR: The European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) as discussed by the authors was established in 2000, as a research program funded by the European Commission in the frame of the 5th framework program after the end of the project, the network activity continued on the base of a voluntary association.
