Atmospheric radiative forcing, surface radiation budget, and top of
the atmosphere radiance interpretation involves a knowledge of the
vertical height structure of overlying cloud and aerosol layers.
During the last decade, the U.S. Department of Energy through I the
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program has constructed
four long- term atmospheric observing sites in strategic climate
regimes (north central Oklahoma, In Barrow. Alaska, and Nauru and
Manus Islands in the tropical western Pacific). Micro Pulse Lidar
(MPL) systems provide continuous, autonomous observation of all
significant atmospheric cloud and aerosol at each of the central
ARM facilities. Systems are compact and transmitted pulses are
eye-safe. Eye-safety is achieved by expanding relatively
low-powered outgoing Pulse energy through a shared, coaxial
transmit/receive telescope. ARM NIPL system specifications, and
specific unit optical designs are discussed. Data normalization and
calibration techniques are presented. A multiple cloud boundary
detection algorithm is also described. These techniques in tandem
represent an operational value added processing package used to
produce normalized data products for Cloud and aerosol research and
the historical ARM data archive.
