Measurements of Wind Divergence with Volume Imaging LidarMesoscale horizontal divergence and vertical motion in the boundary layer are key ingredients in atmospheric and climate modeling. These quantities are very difficult to measure. This paper presents a technique for determining the divergence over a 10 km x 5 km area from lidar images depicting the spatial distribution of the naturally occurring atmospheric aerosols.
