Abstract
During the past decade a number of remote sensing devices to provide continuous atmospheric profile observations from the ground have been examined (Dabbert 1990). Several of these, including the doppler radar wind "Profiler" and the Radar Acoustic temperature Sounding System (RASS), are close to routine operational implementation. A RAMAN Lidar, developed for water vapor profiling, has proven to be an excellent research tool with some hope for operational implementation when the cost and complexity of the technology is reduced during the coming years.
