Description

Volume Imaging Lidar - VIL. Volume imaging lidar schematic, December 1995.

Designed at SSEC, the Volume Imaging Lidar (VIL) is an elastic aerosol backscatter lidar designed to image the four-dimensional structure of the atmosphere. The VIL uses computer-controlled scanning that, with continuous pulses, creates an image of a large volume of sky at one time. Averaged wind measurements can be accurately deduced from the VIL images, providing important information for numerical models. [Ed Eloranta, 2007].
