JPL DIAL  

Definition

  • Several lidar systems are operated at the Jet Propul- sion Laboratory JPL Table Mountain Facility TMF; 34.4 °N, 117.4 °W for atmospheric measurements in the troposphere and stratosphere.1,2 One of these is a differential absorption lidar DIAL sys- tem for ozone profiling and another is an elastic and Raman scattering system primarily for aerosol and cloud observations.3,4 Previously these two lidars were combined in a single system, which involved many problems and compromises and limited their performance. Recently these systems were rede- signed and separated to improve their capabilities. (en)
