Abstract :
A mobile LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) system is being developed and employed for atmosphere remote sensing at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) National Laser Centre (NLC), Pretoria (25.45 S; 28.16 E), South Africa. In this paper, we describe the results obtained using the CSIR-NLC mobile LIDAR in a 23 hour field campaign at the University of Pretoria.
