Automatically controlled adjustment unit of lidar for sending the laser radiation to the atmosphere

The work presents an automatically-controlled automated adjustment unit of the stratospheric aerosol lidar for sending the laser radiation to the atmosphere. The adjustment unit makes it possible to tune the lidar to the maximal sensing altitude in both manual (by operator on keyboard of computer) and totally automatic modes with 0.04-mrad step. The adjustment unit is mounted on lidar for aerosol sensing at the Siberian Lidar Station, V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics.
