Doppler LIDAR
The pulsed „Stream Line“ Doppler Lidar system manufactured by GB based company Halo Photonics is operated at an eye safe wavelength of 1.2 µm (class 1M) and delivers profiles of back scatter intensity as a measure of aerosol concentration or cloud heights, radial or vertical Doppler wind components and derived profiles of horizontal wind speed and wind direction. Its high sampling rate allows further measurements of the wind fluctuations as a measure of atmospheric turbulence. The system offers easy set up, turn key operation and convenient remote control. By means of its unique scanning unit even complex routines for atmospheric monitoring can be defined by the customer, adapting the system to special requirements and measuring tasks. Optionally a second receiver channel can be added to determine the depolarisation ratio.
