Halo Doppler Lidar
Halo Photonics Streamline Doppler Wind Lidar

The Halo Doppler Lidar is a ground-based Doppler wind lidar developed by Halo Photonics. It measures lidar backscatter at 1.5 microns to retrieve boundary layer wind profiles. It can also be used to determine aerosol loading and turbulence. It has a maximum range of 10 km and a vertical resolution of 18 to 60 m, depending on profiling needs. Halo Doppler Lidar has a pulse rate of 10 kHz and a sampling rate of 1 Hz.
