Raman lidar in operational meteorology

Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Ilya Serikov, Todor Dinoev

Water vapor and temperature spatial distribution and their temporal evolution are among the most important parameters in numerical weather forecasting and climate models. The operational relative humidity/temperature profiling in meteorology is carried out ...

Instrumental correction of the uneven PMT aging effect on the calibration constant of a water vapor Raman lidar

Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Salomon Fastig

The water vapor profile derived from Raman lidar measurements is obtained by taking the ratio of water vapor and nitrogen Raman-shifted signals. The proportionality factor that converts the signal ratio to water vapor/air mixing ratio is referred to as lid ...

Raman Lidar for Meteorological Observations, RALMO - Part 1: Instrument description

Hubert van den Bergh, Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Marc Parlange, Pablo Roberto Ristori, Todor Dinoev

A new Raman lidar for unattended, round-the-clock measurement of vertical water vapor profiles for operational use by the MeteoSwiss has been developed during the past years by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne. The lidar uses narrow fiel ...

Raman Lidar for Meteorological Observations, RALMO - Part 2: Validation of water vapor measurements

Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov

The Raman Lidar for Meteorological Observations (RALMO) was installed at the MeteoSwiss Regional Center of Payerne, Switzerland, in summer 2008. One of its aims is to provide continuous vertical profiles of tropospheric water vapor during day and night at ...

Ground-based water vapour soundings by microwave radiometry and Raman lidar on Jungfraujoch (Swiss Alps)

Hubert van den Bergh, Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Ioan Balin

Water vapour has been measured from the International Scientific Station Jungfraujoch (ISSJ, 47° N, 7° E, 3580 in above sea level) during the winters of 1999/2000 and 2000/2001 by microwave radiometry and Raman lidar. The abundance of atmospheric water vap ...

An investigation of ozone and planetary boundary layer dynamics over the complex topography of Grenoble combining measurements and modeling

Hubert van den Bergh, Bertrand Calpini, Valentin Simeonov, Ioan Balin, Olivier Couach, Pablo Roberto Ristori

This paper concerns an evaluation of ozone (O-3) and planetary boundary layer (PBL) dynamics over the complex topography of the Grenoble region through a combination of measurements and mesoscale model (METPHOMOD) predictions for three days, during July 19 ...
