31st ILRC Lidar Tutorials
Time/Date: 08:30 to 17:00 on Sunday, June 23, 2024.
Venue: Lecture hall to accommodate approximately 100 students.
No bookings are possible any more. The 31st ILRC Lidar Tutorial is fully booked.
Synopsis: The ILRC Lidar Tutorials are aimed at researchers who are new to lidar or are early in their lidar careers. The tutorials attempt to cover most of lidar technology and applications at a basic level, starting with the simplest elastic backscatter lidar and emphasizing the challenges of developing lidar instruments. The basics of atmospheric optics are summarized, and the governing equations for the lidar signal and the sky background signal are discussed. Finally, most of the more sophisticated lidar techniques are presented. The tutorials are intended to facilitate the participants’ comprehension and appreciation of the talks and posters that will be presented during the ILRC, by giving them a basic introduction to lidar technology, techniques, and applications.
The Lidar Tutorials follow the format used in European Summer Schools, which is to present the theoretical background in the morning
and practical applications of the theory in the afternoon.
