Dual CCD Laser System with Improved Aerosol Extinction Coefficient Profiles

In a pre-proof study from the journal Results in Physics, researchers have developed a dual charge-coupled device laser system to detect the atmospheric aerosol and evaluate the errors of the Mie Scattering Light Detection and Ranging (Mie-LiDAR) system in the transition zone. The proposed system quantified the LiDAR signal uncertainty and generated improved aerosol extinction coefficient profiles.
