Development of a mobile Raman-Mie lidar system for all time water vapor and aerosol detection

A turn-key Raman-Mie lidar system for water vapor and aerosol detection is described, which is placed in a boxcar and can be operated both at night and daytime. The operation of the lidar is very simple, especially, it does not need readjustment after road transit. The effective detection range of the system can reach tropopause for aerosol, and the improved system can obtain water vapor profile in boundary layers during daytime. Some experimental results and validations are presented.
