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