TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) selection scheme for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) aerosol products is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Raman lidar system for the measurement of water vapor and aerosols in the Earth’s atmosphere
TL;DR: A nighttime operating Raman lidar system that is designed for the measurement of high vertical and temporal resolution profiles of the water vapor mixing ratio and the aerosol backscattering ratio is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
