Description

The multiwavelength Mie-Raman lidar based on a tripled Nd:YAG laser becomes an important tool for profiling aerosol backscattering and two extinction coefficients and from these optical data the particle parameters such as concentration, bimodal size distribution and complex refractive index are retrieved through inversion with regularization. In this paper the description of new multiwavelength lidar installed in TUBITAK, MRC, Materials Institute, K09 Lab., and Turkey is explained and the first results obtained from the data acquired during the summer of 2009 are presented
