What Does NAILS Stand For?
NAILS stands for NCAR Airborne Infrared Lidar System
NAILS, or NCAR Airborne Infrared Lidar System, is an advanced remote sensing technology developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). It utilizes infrared lidar (light detection and ranging) to obtain high-resolution measurements of atmospheric properties and surface features from an airborne platform. NAILS enhances our understanding of environmental processes, providing valuable data for research in meteorology, climate studies, and related fields. Its innovative capabilities support various applications, including atmospheric profiling, land use analysis, and disaster response efforts.
