Acquisition of in-situ and remote sensors for measurements of aerosols and chemical species. Final report, 12 December 1994-30 November 1996
Under this grant, the University of Hawaii has acquired instrumentation to relate remotely sensed lidar backscatter signals to both in situ measurements and to satellite derived radiances. These instruments include a turn key pulsed Nd:YAG and Ti-sapphire tunable laser transmitter and 12` lidar scanner, that are now part of SOEST scanning lidar system. The in situ characterization instrumentation package includes forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP), GPS receiver, and a portable satellite receiving station that would be deployed with lidar and in situ measurements to extend the range of observations and put these in broader context. These instruments are currently being used for studying coastal marine aerosols as a function of meteorological conditions on the island of Oahu.
