LIDAR


www.mlo.noaa.gov/.../gmdlidar/general_info.html
LIDAR stands for light detection and ranging. Lasers are used to measure the distance between an object and the laser source. The time delay between transmission and the collection of the reflected pulse is measured and a distance is calculated. In the photo above is of the actual laser being used, not a LIDAR image.
