Elastic backscatter lidar is an established method useful to characterize the particles forming
an atmospheric aerosol. Fundamental to lidar measurements are the extinction and …

Black carbon aerosol emissions are recognized as contributors to global warming and air
pollution. There remains, however, a lack of techniques to remotely measure black carbon …

A short-range, compact, real-time pulsed laser rangefinder is constructed based on pulsed
time-of-flight (ToF) method. In order to reduce timing discrimination error and achieve high …

Abstract 3D-LiDARs are heavily impacted by a degraded visual environment (DVE) like rain,
fog and smoke which limits their use for perception algorithms. The capacity to retrieve …

Visualization of dust flow and wind dynamics near the ground surface are essential for
understanding the mixing and interaction between geosphere and atmosphere near the …

Integrated measurements of aerosol, radiation, cloud, and turbulent transport in the
planetary boundary layer (PBL) are essential for understanding and modeling climate and …

Short-range elastic backscatter lidar (SR-EBL) systems are remote sensing instruments for
studying low atmospheric boundary layer processes. This work presents a field campaign …

The solution of the lidar equation is an ill-posed problem that requires nonlinear methods to
retrieve the atmospheric aerosol optical and microphysical properties. Particularly, in the last …

The subject focuses on the adverse weather limitations of autonomous vehicles. Weather
events like rain, fog or snow alter the performances of our current sensors by generating …

Atmospheric High Spectral Resolution Lidars (HSRLs) are unable to perform measurements
close to the emission source because, apart from being blind in the first hundredths of …
