3. From scientific question to instrument
The previous paragraph highlighted the need for vertically resolved sampling of the atmosphere, in order to better anticipate the environmental and climatic impacts of aerosols. With the example presented for monitoring the diurnal cycle of CLA, lidar measurement appears to be a promising solution for meeting this need in an operational way. However, we still need to define which technology to use and how to implement it.
3.1 Approach
Before launching any research and development (R&D) studies, it is important to establish the basic scientific questions and to review the existing means of investigation. Figure 4...
