SWA Lidar Applications
Since 1983,
Simpson Weather Associates has been funded by NASA, NOAA,
U.S. DoD, CNRS, Lockheed, General
Electric, and Northrop Grumman
to develop simulation models for space-based and airborne Doppler lidar wind measuring
systems. The integration of lidar technology with SWA's capabilities in
atmospheric research makes us an unique resource to agencies interested in
lidar wind measurements.
SWA's
current Lidar-related activities include:
