GLOW
stands for
Goddard Lidar Observatory for Wind. It is a mobile Doppler lidar system based
on double edge direct detection technology. It consists of a molecular
system at 355nm and a aerosol system at 1064nm.
GLOW merges atmospheric science with innovative new remote
sensing methodologies. New lidar technologies are perfected during ground
use in preparation for eventual use in air and space based wind measurement
systems.
