Abstract :
Simulation studies have been carried out for the Experimental Lidar in Space Equipment (ELISE) for the Mission Demonstration Test Satellite-2 (MDS-2), which unfortunately was canceled, and for the new spaceborne lidar for the ATMOS-B1/ERM program. The new lidar, which is currently studied by National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) for the NASDA-ESA joint Earth radiation mission (ATMOS-B1/ERM), is a two-wavelength lidar having multiple field-of-view (MFOV) receiver. With the MFOV feature of the lidar, measurements utilizing multiple scattering can be used to obtain optical characteristics of aerosols and clouds
