Lidars and climate investigation
Abstract
The book discusses the potential of lidar observations for the monitoring of climate-related phenomena and presents experimental results of lidar measurements of stratospheric aerosol, ozone, cloud amount, atmospheric gases, and the thermodynamic parameters of the atmosphere. Special attention is given to the methods and instruments of a lidar network designed for monitoring these values. The feasibility of climate monitoring by lidars aboard satellites is discussed.
