Abstract
This work presents some preliminary results of the LIDAR system operated at the Andalusian Centre for Environmental Studies (CEAMA). This LIDAR system located in South-eastern Spain has been set up in an urban environment of Granada, a non-industrialised medium size city (37.18ºN, 3.58ºW and 680 m a.s.l.). The RAMAN LIDAR system is based on a Nd:YAG, the radiation is transmitted into the atmosphere at 1064, 532 y 355 nm. Detection is performed in four elastic channels (1064, 532 cross-polarized, 532 parallelpolarized and 355 nm) and two inelastic channels so-called Raman channels (387 and 408 nm). The system has been used to measure vertical profiles of different atmospherics properties under daytime and night time conditions in analogical and photon counting mode. The LIDAR data are analysed in synergy with a CIMEL radiometer.
