The CO2 Sounder Lidar is an airborne lidar system operated by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). It measures lidar backscatter at around the 1572 nm wavelength to provide profiles of carbon dioxide (CO2). It uses the integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) technique to collect observations. The CO2 Sounder has a data recording rate of 1 Hz or 10 Hz and a typical scan rate of 300 Hz. It provides backscatter coefficient profiles at a vertical resolution of 15 m at an aircraft speed of 170 knots.
