Abstract
We present a brief overview of our current developments of compact multi-field-of-view lidars for studying the 3-dimensional structure of the atmosphere and its processes over a wide range of scales with a network of lidars. Each lidar unit is based on a narrowband laser and receiver to measure the spectra of the Doppler-shifted and ñ broadened backscatter. We demonstrate that matched narrowband components enable precise daylight aerosol measurements with high aerosol visibility and high Doppler wind sensitivity in the troposphere and stratosphere 24/7. We present recent results with a focus on aerosol measurements and our next steps to demonstrate a lidar array with extended measurement capabilities.
