LLLJP Instrumentation: High Resolution Doppler Lidar (HRDL)
During the LLLJP, HRDL data were collected during the nighttime, from local sunset until sunrise from 1 to 16 September 2003. Scans were performed in conical, vertical-slice, and staring modes.
Basic Parameters Measured
- Range resolved velocity profiles
- Range resolved backscatter intensity
