Description

The CAMEX-3 Scanning Raman LIDAR dataset collected data during the CAMEX-3 campaign on Andros Island during the period 6 August - 20 September 1998. The SRL instrument is designed to determine the composition and vertical distribution of several atmospheric constituents, specifically water vapor and aerosols.
