LIDAR
Concept for derivation of the extinction coefficient inside aerosol layer using elastic backscatter
Assumptions:- The layer contains the same type of aerosol (e.g.,subvisible cirrus cloud)- Aerisol-free atmosphere above the cloud- Total layer (cloud) transmision is determined from the Raman signal

Additional conditions: • “lr” is constant (extinction to backscatter ratio, initial approximation taken from model values, here the depolarization ratio may help to classify the cloud particles), • “rf” is a reference range• “(rf)” is known ( typically, the molecular backscatter)

Assuming: “(r)” is derived from elastic lidar Total double trip transmission “DT” is derived from Raman lidar, Molecular backscatter is known/type of particles may be “guessed”
Then we may determine “lr” from

LIDAR
Summary:A Raman-backscatter Lidar for CTA-site is a technically feasible solution for the requirements in CTA:
• Advantages: « Real time » and « Real direction » coinciding with the pointing direction the Cherenkov Telescope(s) • The necessary lidar methods and algorithms are developed, adaptation to the tasks will be possible ;• Realistic subsystem specifications, compatible with the commercially available hardware;• Additional /Optional lidar tasks: laser backscatter for calibration of the Cherenkov telescope;
Remark: This presentation is not with system optimisation. The final specifications may be different from the specifications used for numerical simulations

LIDAR
Next step for the Raman lidar - a design study with the following objectives:
• Detailed numerical simulations of the various detection modes with respect to the finalised detection requirements
• Concept design and optimisation;
• Algorithm developments;
• Optional 1: Participation in atmospheric characterisation at the potential CTA sites;• Optional 2: Raman lidar bread-board/ lower aperture and power

LIDAR
• Ground-based LIDAR, transportable development, observations, data analysis
The lidar on the balcony of the 5th floor of the University of Basel; Project BUBBLE (2001-2002) . The lidar was remotely operated from ON

LIDAR
• Ground-based three-wavelength elastic Raman LIDAR, in Observatory of Neuchatel
Operational, Presently under refurbishment
Concerning the CTA-activity:
• Not transportable
• May be a base for the Raman lidar bread-board/test bench wrt the CTA requirements
• Possibility to be deployed on site (with limitations for steering, schedule …)

LIDAR
Summary for the “compact lidar” capabilities:
- Possibility for qualitative characterisation of the aerosol vertical/slant path profile: Backscatter coefficient profile (~30% uncertainty, systematic), altitude of layers,
-Convenient transportation and implementation on the field
- Limitations: The qualitative evaluation is not adequate to the requirements in CTI, i.e., NOT a replacement for the Raman lidar)
