The case for a multi-channel polarization sensitive LIDAR for investigation of insolation-driven ices and atmospheres
Abstract
All LIDAR instruments are not the same, and advancement of LIDAR technology requires an ongoing interest and demand from the community to foster further development of the required components. The purpose of this white paper is to make the decadal survey panel aware of the need for further technical development, and the potential payoff of LIDARs.
