Micro-pulse lidar measurement in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard

Micro-pulse lidar (MPL, NASA upgraded SESI model) placed at AWIPEV Station (at Rabben Station until 4 June 2003) in Ny-Alesund, Svalbard acquires backscatter profiles on a 24-hour operation basis. Laser wavelength: 523.5 nm, Maximum height: 60 km, Range resolution: 30 m, Time resolution: 1 min, Pointing direction: 45 deg slant at Rabben and vertical at AWIPEV.微脉冲激光雷达（Micro-pulse Lidar, MPL，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）升级款SESI型号）部署于斯瓦尔巴群岛新奥尔松的AWIPEV观测站（2003年6月4日前设于Rabben观测站），以24小时全天候运行模式获取后向散射廓线。该设备的激光波长为523.5纳米，最大探测高度达60千米，距离分辨率为30米，时间分辨率为1分钟；指向方向设置为：在Rabben观测站时采用45度斜向指向，在AWIPEV观测站时采用垂直指向。
