SAFARI 2000 Micro-Pulse Lidar Cloud and Aerosol Data, Dry Season 2000
Two Micro-Pulse Lidar (MPL) systems were deployed to Africa for the SAFARI 2000 experiment. One MPL was setup in Mongu, Zambia and the other was setup in Skukuza, South Africa. The primary focus of MPL work during SAFARI was to study the vertical distribution and optical properties of smoke from biomass burning in the region.
