Upgraded lidar facility for atmospheric sounding

An upgraded lidar complex for probing the atmosphere in multi-wavelength mode with simultaneous recording of the intensity of elastic backscatter signals at three laser wavelengths (355, 532 and 1064 nm) and Raman scattering N2 (387 nm), as well as measurement of two polarization components of the backscattered signal (532 nm). The operating altitude range is from 0.8 to 50 km with a sampling step of 15-600 m
