[MSD44-08] Technology demonstration of space-borne water vapor DIAL
Keywords:DIAL, water vapor, space-borne
We propose technology demonstration of space-borne water vapor differential absorption lidar (DIAL) for global high-resolution water vapor observations in the troposphere and lower stratosphere, to improve the understanding about the role of water in the global water and energy cycles and main physical processes (e.g., convection, emission, rainfall, the troposphere-stratosphere exchange of chemical species).
