Lidar design and control tools for long-term operations

Rayleigh lidar allows to derived temperature from 30 to 80 km. More than 30 years of continuous measurements have been performed at Observatory of Haute-Provence providing a long term cooling. Along the years of operations, the technique has been improved. The design of the lidar is described here....
