| Description | South Africa’s first mobile LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging)system is being developed at the National Laser Centre (NLC) of theCouncil for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria(25°45’S; 28°17’E). The system is designed primarily for remotesensing of the atmosphere. At present, the system is being optimisedfor measuring vertical atmospheric backscatter profiles of aerosolsand clouds. In this paper, we describe the complete LIDAR system,including laser transmission, telescope configuration, data acquisition,data archival and post-processing. | |
