The system is designed primarily for remote sensing of the atmosphere. At present, the system is being optimised for measuring vertical atmospheric backscatter profiles of aerosols and clouds. In this paper, the authors describe the complete LIDAR system, including laser transmission, telescope configuration, data acquisition, data archival and post-processing.enLIDARAtmosphereBackscatterLaserRemote sensingArticleSharma, A., Sivakumar, V., Bollig, C., Van Der Westhuizen, C., & Moema, D.
