Airborne Differential Absorption and High Spectral Resolution Lidar Measurements for Cirrus Cloud Studies
Aerosol and water vapor measurements were performed with the lidar system WALES of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) onboard the German research aircraft G550-HALO during the HALO Techno-Mission in October and November 2010 and during the ML-Cirrus mission in March and April 2014 over Central Europe...
