Title: Development of high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) technology. Final report

Abstract

This report describes progress achieved during two years of DOE funding provided by grant DE-FG02-90ER61058. This grant was titled {open_quotes}Development of High Spectral Resolution Lidar Technology for use in the DOE ARM Program{close_quotes}. Nearly all grant objectives were achieved despite the fact that DOE abruptly canceled funding after only two years of a planned three year effort. The principal investigator learned of the cancellation only after attempting to determine why third year funding had not arrived. This occurred two weeks into the planned third year. The unexpected loss of funds created destructive dislocations in our research program. This report describes only progress during the two funded years. Subsequent research. funded by other sources, has resulted in High Spectral Lidar System performance well in excess of that proposed in the DOE program. This system has proven its performance in routine observations at the University of Wisconsin and during an extended field deployment as part of a winter storms project in Arizona.
