Lidar algorithms for atmospheric slant range visibility, meteorological conditions detection, and atmospheric layering measurements

Visibility at airports has to do, in many ways, with flight and ground safety. We present a novel method and algorithms based on lidar measurements and signal noise subtraction to provide atmospheric layering and estimated visibility values for tower controllers and meteorologists as well as from th...

Description
Summary:Visibility at airports has to do, in many ways, with flight and ground safety. We present a novel method and algorithms based on lidar measurements and signal noise subtraction to provide atmospheric layering and estimated visibility values for tower controllers and meteorologists as well as from the pilot's point of view, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization and World Meteorological Organization requirements.
