48" LIDAR (ARB: Aerosol Research Branch) Data Sets

A ground-based 48-inch LIDAR system has been obtaining semi-regular measurements at the NASA Langley Research Center since May 1974. These high resolution vertical measurements have resulted in a valuable long-term record of the mid-latitude upper tropospheric and stratospheric aerosol. These data have been used in scientific studies such as in studies of volcanic eruptions and in comparisons with satellite data.
