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 detects backscatter at 532 nm wavelength to determine aerosol and cloud optical properties such as optical thickness, backscattering coefficient, extinction coefficient, and cloud top and base height. 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 during nighttime.
