The UAF Cloud Polarization Lidar (CPL) is a ground-based lidar located at the Arctic Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing (AFARS) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). It measures lidar backscatter and depolarization ratio using a ruby laser transmitter at 0.694 μm. UAF CPL has a range resolution of 7.5 m and a time resolution of 10 seconds. It provides lidar depolarization ratio measurements with an accuracy of 0.02.
