Laser sounding from space; report of the ESA Technology Working Group on Space Laser Sounding and Ranging
The purpose and principles of spaceborne lidar are described, giving particular attention to candidates for space deployment, including simple backscatter lidar for measuring of cloud top height, cloud extend and optical properties, differential absorption lidar providing high vertical resolution me...
