Abstract

Goals of this paper are to introduce:

  1. The set of measurements available: Water Vapor, Temperature, Aerosol Extinction, Particle Size, Ozone.
  2. Show examples: convection, pollution events, a bore wave, Brunt‐Väisälä oscillations, and cloud micro‐physics.
  3. A future continuous automated LIDAR instrument: meteorological data on H2O, T (°K), extinction, aerosol size, and O3.
