The Lidar for Atmospheric Measurement and Probing (LAMP) is a ground-based lidar system operated by the National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL) in Gadanki, India. It measures 532 nm backscatter to determine aerosol and cloud optical properties, including optical thickness, backscattering coefficient, extinction coefficient, and cloud top and base heights. It has a spatial resolution of 30 meters and a temporal resolution of 1 minute. LAMP is primarily used to collect aerosol and cloud properties at night.
