Lidar curtain

Europe’s new airborne multiwavelength high spectral resolution lidar will be similar to NASA’s High Spectral Resolution Lidar, which is flown on field missions primarily to validate measurements from the lidar on the Calipso satellite. The image shows a curtain of 532 nm lidar backscatter data from the Two-Column Aerosol Project based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in 2012.
