ALVICE Lidar Results from the MOHAVE 2009 Field Campaign

The NASA/GSFC Atmospheric Lidar for Validation/Interagency Collaboration and Education (ALVICE) participated in the Measurements of Humidity And Validation Experiments (MOHAVE 209) campaign hosted at the JPL/Table Mountain Facility in Southern California. This field campaign brought together a large number of water vapor measuring instruments in an effort to inter-compare and validate numerous water vapor technologies in use within the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC). A central focus of the campaign was to perform validation of Raman lidar systems in use within NDACC. ALVICE is one of the mobile intercomparison lidar instruments within NDACC and MOHAVE provided an excellent opportunity to test and validate the measurements of this system. At the workshop, we will present recent analysis results of ALVICE lidar measurements and put them in the context of the full field campaign
