Abstract
This paper presents some results of an experimental program conducted to check the possibilities of the Raman lidar for boundary-layer studies. Water vapor and aerosol profiles are measured within a range of 3 kilometers. Two Raman lidar systems are employed: the first one emits at 347 nm; at this wavelength, Raman detection is possible only at nighttime. The second one emits are 266 nm; in this “solar-blind” portion of the spectrum, Raman signals can also be measured during daytime.
