Improved simulation of aerosol, cloud, and density measurements by shuttle lidar [PDF]
Data retrievals are simulated for a Nd:YAG lidar suitable for early flight on the space shuttle. Maximum assumed vertical and horizontal resolutions are 0.1 and 100 km, respectively, in the boundary layer, increasing to 2 and 2000 km in the mesosphere ...

A Spaceborne Wind Sounder Lidar (SBL)
, 1998 This paper presents a commercial oriented SpaceBorne wind sounder LIDAR (SBL) system, which is designed for advanced remote sensing purposes. The main objectives of SBL are the measurement of wind velocities, by measuring its Doppler shifted reflection from the various atmospheric layers.

Performance Analysis of Spaceborne Sodium Fluorescence Doppler Lidar
Leida xuebao, 2015 The spaceborne sodium Doppler lidar can be developed to measure global wind, temperature and sodium number density in the mesopause and lower thermosphere region. In order to analyze the feasibility of the lidar, simulation calculations about backscattering signals and measurement accuracy have been done in this paper.
