What Does CALS Stand For?
CALS stands for Cloud And Aerosol Lidar System
CALS, or Cloud And Aerosol Lidar System, is an advanced remote sensing technology designed to measure and analyze the properties of clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere. Utilizing lidar (light detection and ranging) techniques, CALS provides high-resolution vertical profiles of atmospheric constituents, enhancing our understanding of their impact on climate, air quality, and weather patterns. This system plays a vital role in atmospheric research, environmental monitoring, and the assessment of natural and anthropogenic changes in the Earth's atmosphere.
