The Airborne Raman Lidar (ARL) is a lidar system developed by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). It detects both Rayleigh and Raman backscattering at a wavelength of 351 nm. These measurements are used to derive profiles of methane, water vapor, and temperature. ARL has a vertical resolution of 300 meters.
