Reminder Laser Radar Techniques and Atmospheric Lidar Conference September 20-24, 1999 Florence, Italy Dear Colleagues, I wish to remind you of the Abstract Due date: LIDAR held in Florence, Italy during September 20 - 24. A short outline of the planned conference is given below. This conference addresses recent progress and demands in Ranging, Lidar and Atmospheric Propagation. system is a critical issue, which may cause a substantial systematic bias for the range measurement of an SLR/LLR observatory we plan to organize a planned to be a discussion forum which wishes to identify the most critical areas for for a correct calibration of a SLR- Station. This will ideally lead to a set of recommendations for a more uniform treatment of the various calibration practises within the entire ILRS. Subjects of interest are: 1. What do the analysis- people see in their datasets? 2. Which of these effects are introduced through calibration and what is the cause of this artefacts? 3. Understanding the various calibration scenarios a) Bistatic ranging system b) Monostatic ranging system c) Pre- / Post- calibration d) Realtime Calibration 4. Should there be something like one calibration value per normal point? 5. Stability of the ranging electronics (longterm and shortterm) 6. Reliability of system. What is the benefit of a multi counter system such as Graz? 7. What is the ultimate calibration scheme? 8. issues brought up by the attendees... Currently we plan this colloquium to be two days long. It will not be interfering with the conference. The goal is to maintain a balance between the scientific presentations and the engineering demands of the Laser Ranging community. Comments and proposals are welcome! Best regards, Ulrich Schreiber (schreiber@wettzell.ifag.de) [Mailed From: ”U.
