|
The Purple Pulse Lidar System
is the first remote sensing system
exceeding the WMO breaktrough requirements
for water-vapor and temperature measurements
throughout the lower troposphere...
...for high-resolution numerical weather forecasts,...
...for nowcasting and very short-range forecasts...
...but comes even close to the goal requirements
for high-resolution numerical weather forecasts...
...and even for nowcasting and very short-range forecasts!

What makes it unique?
• First commercially available
water-vapor and temperature
profiler
• Exceptional vertical and
temporal resolution
at day and night
• Eye safety
• Designed to fullfill most of the
WMO requirements
for water vapor and
temperature profiling
• Resolution of lids and inversions
• Measurement of real
atmospheric boundary layer
height
• Further variables provided
such as relatice humidity,
potential temperature, and
particle extinction coefficient
• Long lifetime of laser transmitter
with minor maintenance
• Compact and robust
system design
• Vertical profiling,
3D scanning upon request
• Ready for operation
in networks

Properties of daytime temperature measurements**:
• Systematic error < 0.5 K
• Statistical error < 0.5 K up to 3.5 km
at 5 min, 100 m resolutions
exceeding all WMO goal requirements
• 50 m to 300 m vertical resolution
• 10 s to 10 min temporal resolution
Properties of daytime water-vapor mixing-ratio measurements**:
• Systematic error < 5 %
• Statistical error < 5 % up to 3.0 km
at 10 min, 300 m resolutions
exceeding all WMO breakthrough requirements
• 50 m to 300 m vertical resolution
• 10 s to 10 min temporal resolution
• Fulfills also all WMO goal requirements up to 1.7 km
(< 2 % at 5 min, 100 m resolutions)
**Depending on atmospheric conditions
