Abstract

A ground-based mobile 3D lidar observatory has been developed for simultaneous measurements of wind speed, temperature, water vapor and carbon dioxide absorption in the atmosphere. The present paper reports details of the instruments, assesses the current performances and gives some examples of measurements for different geophysical applications.
