Abstract
Spaceborne lidar sensors have the potential to measure atmospheric parameters — such as wind fields, humidity profiles, and vertical temperature structure — with the accuracy, spatial resolution, and coverage required by the meteorological community. Implementation of such operational lidars on today’s civilian and military meteorological satellites using current laser technology is not feasible, principally because of the large size and high required-power of these systems.
