A Novel Lidar Ceilometer : Design, Implementation and Characterisation
Cham : Springer International Publishing : Imprint: Springer, 2015
Abstract/Sommario:
In this thesis, a new lidar (light detection and ranging) ceilometer capable of monitoring cloud base and sensitive to boundary layer aerosols is introduced. The key to this novelty lies in its divided-lens design that addresses a classical lidar problem of balancing transmitter-receiver overlap and signal-to-noise ratio, along with a method for characterizing overlap in the laboratory. Enhanced sensitivity in the near-range of the instrument is achieved without compromising signal-to- ...; [leggi tutto]
