The LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) technique is based on the interaction of a laser beam with atmospheric compounds (molecules, gases, clouds) via elastic-inelastic or resonant-nonresonant processes (scattering, absorption, fluorescence), relative to the radiation of the laser beam. By analyzing the detected backscattered radiation, suitable at many wavelengths, several parameters can be recovered, with relatively high space-time resolution: optical properties of the atmosphere (e.g. backscatter-extinction coefficients of aerosols and clouds), atmospheric concentrations (e.g. ozone, water vapor), and atmospheric parameters (e.g. temperature, wind). The article is focusing on the characterization of a LIDAR system and also on verifying the accuracy of information supplied. This scope is achieved by means of the information generated through the HYSPLIT (HYbrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) model, compared with information from satellite data.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
