The MPL (Spinhirne et al. 1995) is a compact and eye-safe lidar system capable of determining the range of aerosols and clouds by firing a short pulse of laser light (at 523, 527, or 532 nm) and measuring the time-of-flight from pulse transmission to reception of a returned signal. The returned signal is a function of time, converted into range using the speed of light, and is proportional to the amount of light backscattered by atmospheric molecules (Rayleigh scattering), aerosols, and clouds. The evolution of the MPL from the initial Spinhirne et al. (1995) optical design to the standard design now used in MPLNET is described in detail by Campbell et al. (2002) and Welton and Campbell (2002), including on-site maintenance, and calibration techniques.
