Airborne temperature profiling in the troposphere during daytime by lidar utilizing Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering

The airborne measurement of a temperature profile from 10.5 km down towards ground (about 1.4 km above sea level) during daytime by means of a lidar utilizing Rayleigh-Brillouin (RB) scattering is demonstrated for the first time, to our knowledge. The spectra of the scattered light were measured by...
