Raman lidar is an advanced remote sensing technique that utilises the inelastic scattering of laser light to provide detailed profiles of atmospheric constituents, temperature, and humidity. By ...

Thunderstorms, wind, fog, extreme rainfall – all these weather events develop in the near-surface layer of air in the earth's atmosphere. Quantifying the processes that occur in this layer using ...

Improved observations of the atmospheric boundary layer (BL) and its interactions with the ocean, land, and ice surfaces have great potential to advance science on a number of fronts, from improving ...
