22 December 1997LITE: results, performance characteristics, and data archive
The lidar in-space technology experiment (LITE) is a three- wavelength backscatter lidar which was flown on space shuttle mission STS-64 in September 1994. Observations of clouds and aerosols were acquired between 57 degrees N and 57 degrees S on 10 days of the mission. LITE provides a dataset with which to explore the applications of space lidar and to begin to develop and demonstrate the retrieval algorithms required for future space lidars. Results from a number of science investigations using LITE data will be discussed to illustrate system performance characteristics and capabilities. A LITE level 1 data product is being created and will be made available through the NASA Langley Distributed Active Archive Center.
