Water vapor profiling using a compact widely tunable diode laser Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL)
Atmospheric water vapor is an important driver of cloud formation, precipitation, and cloud microphysical structure. Changes in the cloud microphysical structure due to the interaction of aerosols and water vapor can produce more reflective clouds, resulting in more incoming solar radiation being re...
