Superior Performance of Micro Pulse LiDAR for Aerosol Mapping Applications
Robert Rissland, Director, Int’l Sales for Micro Pulse LiDAR, explains the advantages of the polarized, single-photon detecting Mini Micro Pulse Lidar (MiniMPL) over Doppler Wind Lidar systems. For wide-area aerosol detection, differentiation and concentration mapping, the best tools for the job must offer autonomous continuous operations in varying weather conditions and collect reliable ...

Applicability Assessment of Coherent Doppler Wind LiDAR for Monitoring during Dusty Weather at the Northern Edge of the Tibetan Plateau
Abstract: Wind profile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is an important tool for observing features within the atmospheric boundary layer. Observations of the wind field and boundary layer height from coherent Doppler wind LiDARs (CDWLs) under sandy and dusty weather conditions were evaluated using observations from two CDWLs and one GTS radio sounding located at the northern edge of the ...

Weather monitoring in extreme conditions
A VENTUS X ultrasonic wind sensor has been deployed by researchers at the Summit Station on the Greenland Ice Sheet in the Arctic, 10,000 feet above sea level, as part of a project investigating the role of aerosols in cloud formation. With integrated heaters and no moving parts, the wind sensor does not require recalibration – a vital feature of equipment in one of the most remote ...

ADMS 5 Flat Terrain Validation Kincaid, Indianapolis and Prairie Grass
1 Introduction This document presents a summary of ADMS model results compared against three well known field data sets: Prairie Grass. Kincaid and Indianapolis. Results are also presented for two U.S. models: ISCST and AERMOD. ISC ST is the United States Environmental Protection Agency model. It is a so-called 'old generation' model, similar to the UK R-91 model, based on the 1970's ...
