Study of atmospheric aerosols over the central Himalayan region using a newly developed Mie light detection and ranging system: preliminary results
A LIDAR system to receive Mie backscattered photons has been developed at the Manora peak, Nainital, India and it is the first of its kind in the central Himalayan region. The system is sensitive to receive backscattered photons from heights up to ~20 km (above ground level). The atmospheric extinct...
