High Spectral Resolution Lidar

چکیده
Standard lidar systems provide profiles of the attenuated backscatter signal. These can be assembled into images with spatial and temporal resolution adequate for practically all problems of atmospheric research. However, the attenuated backscatter signal is a quantity that is composed of different atmospheric properties. Extremely valuable for an assessment of the state of the atmosphere, they are hard to extract from the measured profiles of the attenuated backscatter signal. We start from the familiar lidar equation

Urban Vegetation Recognition Based on the Decision Level Fusion of Hyperspectral and Lidar Data
Introduction: Information about vegetation cover and their health has always been interesting to ecologists due to its importance in terms of habitat, energy production and other important characteristics of plants on the earth planet. Nowadays, developments in remote sensing technologies caused more remotely sensed data accessible to researchers. The combination of these data improves the obje...
متن کاملObject-based Building Detection from Lidar Data and High Resolution Satellite Imagery
This paper presents a scheme for building detection from LIDAR data and high resolution satellite imagery. The proposed scheme comprises two major parts: (1) segmentation, and (2) classification. Spatial registration of LIDAR data and high resolution satellite images are performed as data pre-processing. It is done in such a way that two data sets are unified in the object coordinate system. Th...
متن کاملAirborne high spectral resolution lidar for measuring aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficients.
An airborne high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) based on an iodine absorption filter and a high-power frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser has been developed to measure backscatter and extinction coefficients of aerosols and clouds. The instrument was operated aboard the Falcon 20 research aircraft of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment in May-June 2006 to m...
متن کاملSystem Simulation of Spaceborne and Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar for Aerosol Monitoring
Atmospheric aerosols play very important roles in climate change and air particulate pollution. Due to their highly variable optical and physical properties as well as to short atmospheric lifetimes and large spatial and temporal gradients, the aerosol impact on climate models and air pollution is really a complex task. Lidars based on elastic scattering have been largely used to measure aeroso...
متن کاملAirborne high spectral resolution lidar observation of pollution aerosol during EUCAARI-LONGREX
Airborne high spectral resolution lidar observations over Europe during the EUCAARI-LONGREX field experiment in May 2008 are analysed with respect to the optical properties of continental pollution aerosol. Continental pollution aerosol is characterized by its depolarisation and lidar ratio. Over all, the measurements of the lidar ratio and the particle linear depolarization ratio of pollution ...

The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) on the NASA B200 aircraft has acquired large datasets of aerosol extinction (532nm), backscatter (532 and 1064nm), and depolarization (532 and 1064nm) profiles during 18 field missions across North America since 2006. The lidar measurements include scale-invariant aerosol parameters that vary with aerosol typ...
