LSCE
The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement
(LSCE) is a joint research unit of the CNRS, the CEA and the University of
Versailles St-Quentin. The laboratory activities is divided into three main
broad research topics including Climate, Biogeochemical Cycles, and Geochronology-Geochemistry. The EZ Lidar ALS 300D with scan capabilities is mainly used by the scientific team coordinated by Dr. Patrick Chazette that
is an expert on microphyisical and optical aerosol properties studies.
ULCO
ULCO (Université du Littoral Côte d'Opal) University financed a project to study the distribution and dispersion of industrial plumes in Dunkerque area. This application requires a quasi real time temporal resolution and a spatial resolution of 1.5m. Fast horizontal scans are performed with an ALS 300D EZ Lidar.
University of Virginia
One of the research fields of the Department of Environmental Science (S. De Wekker) of the University of Virginia is the
investigation of atmospheric boundary layer processes that are strongly influenced in hilly and mountainous terrain using
a combination of field studies, data analysis, and numerical modeling
technique in order to estimate regional CO2 fluxes. An EZ Lidar ALS300 performs field campaigns on different rough terrains to study the boundary layer in relation with a complex terrain.
Washington State University
The Laboratory for Atmospheric Research (LAR) of Washington State University has a long history of participation in national
and international field programs related to air quality
research. This emphasis upon field research continues
today, but it is now balanced by a growing capability
in advanced numerical air quality modeling and
laboratory work. LAR is equipped with an EZ Lidar ALS 300 and its measurements mainly in the boundary layer are used in the air pollution forecast models.
