The Multi-functional Fiber Laser Lidar (MFLL) is an airborne lidar system that measures atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). It consists of a multi-frequency, single-beam Laser Absorption Spectrometer (LAS) and a Pseudo-random Noise (PN) altimeter. The LAS instrument operates at 1571 nm to measure column amount of CO2. The PN altimeter operates at the 1596 nm wavelength and measures the path length form aircraft to the scattering surface and/or cloud top. MFLL has a typical temporal resolution of 10 Hz and a spatial resolution of 1 m at an altitude of 500 m.
