Mission

• Maintain the Raman-shifted Eye-safe Aerosol Lidar (REAL) so that is available for future field deployments.


• Develop and apply algorithms and software to extract quantitative information such as boundary layer depth and vector wind fields from the REAL scans.


• Use the REAL data, with other observations and modeling efforts, to increase understanding of atmospheric boundary layer structure and dynamics.


• Provide learning, research, and employment opportunities for California State University Chico students of all majors.
