Design of an Aircraft Mounted Doppler LiDAR Scanner
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is on the forefront of using advanced Doppler LiDAR instrumentation. Their research involves taking in-situ measurements from the environment which they're studying, whether that be remote "scans" of areas or direct sampling. Their data is then used to investigate wind phenomena of scientific interest. Last year, NOAA sponsored a project to design and manufacture a LiDAR pointing stabilization instrument for research on ships. They continued a secondary project that our team took on to continue the advancement in LiDAR technology for other research occurring on aircrafts.
