Abstract

The NCAR airborne infrared lidar system (NAILS) is being developed over a number of years with the eventual goal of Doppler wind measurements for applications to research in atmospheric science. The system is based on a pulsed CO2 laser using a transverse-excitation, atmospheric-pressure (TEA) discharge. Research results from NAILS in a direct-detection mode have recently appeared (Schwiesow, et al., 1990b), and a number of applications for the heterodyne version have been discussed in a meteorological context (Schwiesow et al., 1991).
