Abstract

Raman detection has recently been added to the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory's ground-based lidar system (GLEAM) to augment that system's Rayleigh lidar measure­ments. In this paper we examine the possibilities of using the Raman measurements to self-normalize, and downwardly extend, our measurements of stratosphere and lower mesosphere molecular density.
