Abstract

A proposed Regional East Atmospheric Lidar Mesonet (REALM) is described. Building from the research capabilities already established at a number of Eastern North America lidar facilities, a coordinated mesonet is now possible. This paper will outline the facilities available through the mesonet, the routine observing schedule currently in use, and potential applications of the mesonet for upcoming studies.
