Abstract

This paper describes a shore-based multi-wavelength lidar for air-sea interface studies. The lidar systems used lasers operated in near IR and visible wavelengths to collect waveform and imaging spectrograph data at both sides of the air-sea interface. This paper describes the lidars, the waveform sampling system and the imaging spectrograph system. This paper also describes the measurement results
