ASEN-6519. Lidar Remote Sensing
The development of this lidar class was supported, in part, by a National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. For more information about the award, see "Understanding the Global MLT Thermal Structure and Dynamics from Lidar and Satellite Observations and GCM Simulations."

Course Objectives
LIDAR stands for "Light Detection and Ranging", commonly known as Laser Radar. It is not only replacing conventional sensors, but also creating new methods with unique properties that could not be achieved before. Lidar is extremely useful in atmospheric and environmental research as well as space exploration. It also has wide applications in industry, defense, and military.
- Comprehensive, yet easily understandable, up-to-date understandings of lidar principles, technologies, and applications;
- Approaches for quantitative lidar simulation, lidar sensitivity and error analysis, lidar data retrieval, lidar system design and performance analysis;
- Opportunities to see and possibly operate the real state-of-the-art lidar systems and make connections to lidar experts in the nation and world.
