CAMEX-3 Scanning Raman Lidar (SRL)

The Scanning Raman Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) is an instrument designed to determine the composition and vertical distribution of several atmospheric constituents, specifically water vapor and aerosols. SRL is generally used as an atmospheric profiler, where the lidar is aimed upwards returning a vertical cross-section of the atmosphere.

The SRL was located on Andros Island during the CAMEX-3 campaign, and operated nearly every night throughout the period 6 Aug-20 Sep 98.
