A micro-pulsed LIDAR for the study of the lower troposphere and atmospheric boundary layer

The current largest unknown variable in global climate models is the effect of aerosols directly and indirectly on radiative forcing. This thesis continues the work of characterizing this effect through the study of aerosols by the use of lidar. A micro-pulsed lidar was designed, fabricated and inco...
