CSIR South Africa mobile LIDAR—First scientific results: comparison with satellite, sun photometer and model simulations

We present the first scientific results from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research - National Laser Centre (CSIR-NLC) mobile LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) and its validation and comparison with other ground-based and space-borne measurements. The LIDAR results are compared with ae...
