New high-altitude lidar
Graw Radiosondes
At the expo, Graw will showcase a game-changing new high-altitude lidar that provides extremely accurate atmospheric monitoring to over 100km altitude.
The Graw LidarCube is capable of profile generation from the ground to the edge of space while being robust enough to reliably withstand the rigors of synoptic meteorological use.
Various data retrieval techniques are combined to derive continuous atmospheric profiles from the ground to well above the stratosphere. Mie scattering from aerosols, Rayleigh scattering from air molecules and resonance fluorescence from free potassium atoms are all used in different altitude sectors. Innovative spectral methods and narrowband optical components allow precise wind, temperature and aerosol measurements by analyzing the Doppler shift and broadening the scattered signals.
The complete Graw LidarCube is housed in an enclosure with a footprint of only 1m3 and reportedly outperforms other research lidars that are generally housed in shelters the size of large shipping containers. The LidarCube is weatherproof and needs only power and data connections to operate.
