EZLIDAR in the frame of Vocals project
The VOCALS-UK project led by Professor Hugh Coe from the University of
Manchester and Dr Phil Brown from the UK Met Office aims to investigate
how the vast cloud systems off the coast of Chile and Peru affect the
Earth's climate . The clouds are marine stratocumulus which usually
occur near land where deep, cold, upwelling water reaches the surface
of the sea. This water cools the surface air, resulting in condensation
and cloud formation. The clouds do not exceed 2km in altitude, and they
are present nearly all year round in the South-East Pacific region and
cover an area of ocean often larger than the USA. Marine stratocumulus
are important to the climate because they reflect sunlight back into
space cooling the ocean below. However current representation of these
systems in global climate models is poor. The VOCALS project has
measured the properties of these clouds, using EZ Lidar™ mounted on
board of an ARSF Dornier 228 airborne (source:
www.cas.manchester.ac.uk ).
LUAMI
LUAMI campaign that took place in Lindenberg, at the DWD (Deutscher
WetterDienst) meteorological observatory, from November 2008 to January
2009. The WLS70 Lidar instrument was placed close together with an EZ
Lidar™ ALS450. One of the main objectives of this intercomparision
campaign is to assess and inter-compare both up-to-date active and
passive ground-based remotesensing systems for meteorological
parameters in view of their potential for supply in operational
networks as well as for high-quality reference or ground-truth e.g. to
satellite sensors.
COST702
Leosphere joined the action 702 of Cost program in order to define the
specifications, development and demonstration of a cost-effective
ground-based integrated profiling system suitable for future networks
of atmospheric observations
