Airborne Testing of the TWiLiTE Direct Detection Doppler Lidar

摘要

The TWiLiTE instrument development program has been completed and the lidar was integrated into the NASA ER-2 for two sets of engineering test flights in Spetember, 2009 and February, 2011. These flights demonstrated the major functions and autonomous operation of TWiLiTE and generated a wealth of engineering and atmospheric data.
