Adm-aeolus – Esa’s Space-borne Wind Profiling Lidar
The ‘Living Planet Programme’ of the European Space Agency (ESA) is gaining momentum. Six Earth Explorer missions are currently being implemented including ADM-Aeolus, ESA’s Doppler Wind LIDAR (DWL) mission. The Aeolus mission will demonstrate the capability of a space-borne high spectral resolution DWL to accurately measure wind profiles in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere (0-30 km)....
متن کاملReexamination of depolarization in lidar measurements.
Almost all of the depolarization papers in the lidar literature employ a physically inappropriate notation and they use a definition of the depolarization ratio that is not linear in the quantity of interest. This depolarization lidar legacy is misleading and confusing. In particular, subscripts meaning parallel and perpendicular do not apply to atmospheric parameters, such as the volume backsc...
متن کاملLidar measurements of aerosol depolarization ratio
Lidar measurements of the aerosol depolarization ratio provide highly reliable informations to discriminate between spherical and non-spherical particles in the atmosphere and they can help to distinguish between liquid and solid phase aerosols. These measurements can be performed by using a linearly polarized laser source and a hardware configuration of the receiving system including two chann...
متن کاملCharacterization of Polar Stratospheric Clouds with Space-Borne Lidar: CALIPSO and the 2006 Antarctic Season
Abstract. The role of polar stratospheric clouds in polar ozone loss has been well documented. The CALIPSO satellite mission offers a new opportunity to characterize PSCs on spatial and temporal scales previously impossible. A PSC detection algorithm based on a single wavelength threshold approach has been developed for CALIPSO. The method appears to accurately detect PSCs of all opacities, inc...
متن کاملSpace-borne clear air lidar measurements in the presence of broken cloud
A number of proposed lidar systems, such as ESA’s AEOLUS (formerly ADM) and DIAL missions (e.g. WALES) are to make use of lidar returns in clear air. However, on average, two-thirds of the globe is covered in cloud. Hence, there is a strong likelihood that data from these instruments may be contaminated by cloud. Similarly, optically thick cloud may not be penetrated by a lidar pulse, resulting...
