Abstract

In the middle of 1970's, we began lidar studies at NIES with constructing a mobile Mie lidar for application to lower atmospheric structure studies in relation to air pollution phenomena. A large-scale lidar was built in 1979 for the purpose of developing measurement techniques for aerosol distribution over a wide-area. The large lidar was also used for studies on atmospheric structures such as mixed layer and sea-breeze front.
