The lidar profiles density, temperature, wind velocity and aerosol loading from the lower troposphere to the upper mesosphere, depending on operating mode. Two main measurement techniques are employed. Firstly, traditional Rayleigh backscatter analysis yields temperature profiles above the top of th...
