Abstrakt: NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) developed a double pulsed, high energy 2-micron Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) lidar instrument to measure atmospheric CO2 column density. The 2-μm double pulsed IPDA lidar was flown ten times in March and April of 2014. It was determined that the IPDA lidar measurement is in good agreement with an in-situ CO2 measurement by a collocated NOAA flight. The average column CO2 density difference between the IPDA lidar measurements and the NOAA air samples is 1.48ppm in the flight altitudes of 3 to 6.1 km. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
