Ground Based Operational Testing Of Holographic Scanning Lidars : The HOLO ExperimentsTwo aerosol backscatter lidar measurement campaigns were conducted using two holographic scanning lidars and one zenith staring lidar for the purposes of reliability testing under field conditions three new lidar systems and to develop new scanning measurement techniques and applications. The first campaign took place near the campus of Utah State University in Logan Utah in March of 1999 and is called HOLO-1. HOLO-2 was conducted in June of 1999 on the campus of Saint Anselm College, near the city of Manchester, New Hampshire. Each campaign covered a period of approximately one week of nearly continuous observation of cloud and aerosol backscatter in the visible and near infrared by lidar, and wide field visible sky images by video camera in the daytime. The scanning capability coupled with a high rep-rate, high average power laser enables both high spatial and high temporal resolution observations that Particularly intriguing is the possibility of deriving atmospheric wind profiles from temporal analysis of aerosol backscatter spatial structure obtained by conical scan without the use of Doppler techniques.
