[PS1-3-4-2-2] Doppler Wind LiDAR

Doppler Wind LiDAR or Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (e.g. CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarization-sensitive LiDAR that provides high-resolution vertical profiles of atmospheric aerosols and clouds to enable an greater understanding of our climate.
