Abstract :
Dust, clouds, and aerosols in the 0-30 km have been measured by using a Mie scattering lidar at the National Central University in Chung-Li (25 N,121 E). The lidar system consists of a 532/1064 nm transmitter, two telescopes with diameters of 45 cm and 20 cm, and detector and signal analyses systems. NCU lidar system has been used to measure temperature, aerosols and cirrus clouds since 1993, and Asian dust storms since 2002.
