Abstract
A coherent differential absorption and wind lidar (Co2DiaWiL) was developed to measure concentration and line-of-sight wind speed. We conductively cooled a pumping laser head to and diode arrays to approximately . A Q-switched laser outputs an energy of (pulse width (FWHM), pulse repetition frequency up to ). measurements made over a column range () for accumulation time pairs achieved 0.7% precision. Line-of-sight wind speeds for ranges up to approximately and returns from a mountainside located away from the Co2DiaWiL were obtained.
