    Book description

    Lidar is a remote sensing technique that employs laser beams to produce a high-resolution, four-dimensional probe, with important applications in atmospheric science. Suitable as a detailed reference or an advanced textbook for interdisciplinary courses, this book discusses the underlying principles of light-scattering theory and describes widely used lidar systems in current research, exploring how they can be employed effectively for atmospheric profiling. This self-contained text provides a solid grounding in the essential physics of light-matter interactions and the fundamentals of atmospheric lidars through a discussion of the principles that govern light-matter interactions and an exploration of both historical and recent scientific developments in lidar technology. This is an essential resource for physicists, optical engineers and other researchers in atmospheric science and remote sensing.

    Reviews

    ‘This book contains an extensive and thorough coverage of basic light-scattering theory and atmospheric lidars. There is a broad variety of fundamental issues … and applications … that provide concrete illustrations of the methods developed in this book. This is an interdisciplinary textbook in the field of applied optics, overlapping the disciplines of atmospheric lidars and optical spectroscopy. The material will be of interest to a great variety of readers, including graduate students in physics and optics, researchers and optical engineers.’
