The University of Basilicata Lidar System (BASIL) is a ground-based Raman lidar located in Potenza, Italy. It was developed by the Department of Environmental Engineering and Physics at the University of Basilicata. It measures atmospheric temperature and water vapor mixing ratio using the rotational Raman lidar technique. BASIL also measures aerosol backscatter, extinction, and depolarization. It operates at wavelengths of 355 nm, 532 nm, and 1064 nm and can collect data during both day and night. BASIL has a typical spatial resolution of 30 m and a temporal resolution of 1 minute.
