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