Scanning Cloud Detection Lidar
DSL-C 3D
Scanning cloud detection lidar is a radar device that measures cloud height and cloud cover via laser transmitters. The laser emits laser pulses; if clouds exist above the transmitter, strong backscattering signals will be generated. The height of cloud layers can be determined by measuring and calculating signals received by the receiver. Cloud cover data can be obtained through time statistics or laser beam scanning.
Our self-developed scanning cloud detection lidar effectively breaks the domestic reliance on imported equipment of the same type.
