The Doppler Aerosol WiNd Lidar (DAWN) is an airborne lidar developed by NASA Langley Research Center. DAWN uses a pulsed, solid-state laser operating at a wavelength of 2 micrometers to detect aerosol backscatter in the atmosphere. It also provides vertical profiles of horizontal winds below the aircraft and line-of-sight winds at each azimuth angle. Typically, DAWN delivers profiles with a resolution of 60 m and emits pulses at a rate of 10 Hz.
