University of Wisconsin High Spectral Resolution Lidar operations during MPACE
| Eloranta, Edwin | University of Wisconsin |
The Arctic High Spectral Resolution Lidar(AHSRL) operated at the North Slope ARM site as part of MPACE from 24-Sept-04 to 17-Nov-04. Data was archived 24-hours/day for the entire period with only minor interruptions: One day data was lost due to a problem in the laser cooling system, and one-half of a day was lost due to an electrical power failure at the site. All of the data is archived on our web site and can be accessed using web routines which process data on demand. This allows users to specify the exact time and altitude range of the data they wish acquire and to specify both the temporal and spatial averaging which is most appropriate for their application. AHSRL data was used extensively to support aircraft flight planning during MPACE. Planners at the Dead Horse experiment headquarters were able to access processed lidar data from our Barrow lidar site in real time via our Madison, WI web site. This poster will present AHSRL data obtained during MPACE and show examples of it's application in synergism with other MPACE observations.
This poster will be displayed at the ARM Science Team Meeting.
