A regular stage of modernization of the lidar complex of a small lidar station at IAO SB RAS

摘要

The lidar complex of the Small Lidar Station for high-altitude atmospheric sounding of the Institute of AtmosphericOptics SB RAS allows quick and regular obtaining the scattering ratio profiles up to an altitude of 70 km, temperatureand density of the atmosphere in the altitude range of 10-70 km with a spatial resolution of 192 m. Measurements arecarried out under conditions of a cloudless sky or, in extreme cases, broken clouds. To plan the measurement, theweather forecast is used and the latter are carried out when the forecast coincides with the real weather in the clear nighttime. Remote or automatic control of the lidar complex will improve the efficiency, quality (due to measurements withvariable cloudiness) of the series of accumulated data and will increase the number of sessions of lidar sounding of theatmosphere.
