LEANDRE 2
Lidar pour l’Etude des interactions Ae´rosols Nuages Dynamique Rayonnement et du cycle de l’Eau

The Lidar pour l’Etude des interactions Ae´rosols Nuages Dynamique Rayonnement et du cycle de l’Eau, or LEANDRE II, is a DIAL airborne system that measures water vapor and water vapor mixing ratios in the lower troposphere. It was developed at the Service d’Ae´ronomie in Paris.
