Abstract

Aerosol backscatter measurements at CO2 laser wavelengths are important for assessing the feasibility of an earth-orbiting tropospheric winds measurement technique using Doppler lidar to provide data for forecasting and for studies of transport processes (e.g. the NOAA WINDSAT satellite mission) [1, 2]. We have built a coherent laser radar, using an injection-locked TEA-CO2 laser transmitter which is grating tunable from 9-11 μm, to measure backscatter coefficients as a function of wavelength over an altitude range of 1-10 km.
