Signal to Noise Ratio Estimations for a Volcanic Ash detection lidar
In this paper we calculate the Signal-to-Noise (SNR) ratio of a 3-channel commercial volcanic ash detection system, (Raymetrics lidar model LR111-D300), already in operation for the Met Office organization. The methodology for the accurate estimation is presented for day and nighttime conditions. The results show that SNR values are higher than 10 for ranges up to 13 km for both nighttime and ...

Raman Depolarization Lidar for Meteorological Applications
The LR111-D300 model aerosol LIDAR is an active laser remote sensing instrument, designed to provide a wealth of information about the atmosphere, including unambiguous detection of volcanic ash. It can also provide detailed information on the Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL), including information for air quality and forecasting model validation. With a minor upgrade, the system can provide remote ...
