Abstract
An airborne high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) based on an iodine absorption filter and a high--power frequency--doubled Nd:YAG laser has been developed to measure backscatter and extinction coefficients of aerosols and clouds. The instrument was operated aboard the DLR Falcon 20 research aircraft during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) in May/June 2006 to measure optical properties of Saharan dust. A detailed description of the lidar system, the analysis of its data products and measurements of backscatter and extinction coefficients of Saharan dust are presented. The system errors are discussed and airborne HSRL results are compared to ground based Raman lidar and sun photometer measurements.
