Lidar Tutorials for Students
Link will be provided to those who selected Student Tutorial on registration.Synopsis: The Lidar Tutorials are aimed at researchers who are new to lidar or are early in their lidar careers. The tutorials are intended to facilitate the participants’ comprehension and appreciation of the talks and posters that will be presented during the ILRC, by giving them a basic introduction to atmospheric optics and the technology, techniques, and applications of lidar.The tutorials are at an introductory level, starting with the simplest elastic backscatter lidar and emphasizing the challenges of developing lidar instruments. The basics of lidar atmospheric optics are summarized, and the governing equations for the lidar signal and the sky background signal are discussed. Descriptions of more sophisticated lidar techniques are also presented.As in previous years, the Lidar Tutorials will follow the format used in previous ILRCs and European Summer Schools, which is to present the theoretical background first, followed by practical applications of the theory.12:00-17:30 UTC – Amphitheater: Lidar Tutorials
