Location of REALM Lidar Systems

Lidar systems in REALM are expected to deliver (at minimum) lidar backscatter ratio at the fundamental or on of the harmonics of the Nd-YAG laser. Systematization of processing for extinction retrievals will be a task for the Raman systems. Water vapor retrievals and ozone retrievals are level two products and are not expected to be available at all sites. All systems are zenith pointing unless otherwise noted. (Hoff et al 2003) All REALM sites are marked with red dots in the map shown below. Go to the REALM homepage to learn more.
