Abstract
L.I.D.A.R is an acronym for light detection and ranging, and is a powerful active technique for remote sensing the atmosphere. Lidar may be said to be the optical equivalent of radar, it is in fact often referred to as "laser radar". In this paper remote sensing of the atmosphere via elastic backscatter LIDAR is discussed and elastic backscatter LIDAR data obtained using a powerful ND-YAG LIDAR at York University in Toronto Ontario is evaluated and discussed
