Roscoe is an airborne aerosol and cloud lidar system. It is a more compact version of the Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL) developed by Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). It was designed to observe both upwards and downwards from the aircraft to collect profile measurements of attenuated backscatter and aerosol/cloud optical properties. Roscoe operates at 355 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths and has a resolution of 200 m. It has a temporal resolution of 1 second.
