Researchers in the TOPAZ lidar van located at the BAO tower during the multi-agency air quality study DISCOVER-AQ 2014.
LIDAR data is collected during field campaigns examining air quality and climate change. These measurements are obtained from mobile and ground-based platforms during coordinated field projects.
