Schreiber and Ch. Werner Co-Chairs: A. Sinclair, N. Sugimoto., G. Matvienko, M.L. Chanin, P.Ingmann, D. Winker, M. Huffaker, K. Asai, M.Kavaya, J. Degnan The conference Lidar in Remote Sensing during the Symposium on Satellite Remote Sensing III in Taormina 1996 was focussed on Lidar. In 1997 the major interest is in view of Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) and Atmospheric Lidar. SLR contributed a lot to the earth sciences over the last two decades, enhancing the resolution of the measured ranges continuosly. Nowadays the domain below one centimeter has been reached. Therefore an increasing amount of effort is needed to recognise and eliminate small systematic biases between the stations of the SLR- network at a very high level of accuracy. Furthermore, the structure of thetargets and the rapidly changing propagation properties of the atmosphere and a high level of system stability have become relevant too. Multiple sensor models, near realtime data consistency checks in clustered stations and in situ measurements of atmospheric parameters via remote sensing techniques may become keywords of a mm- level SLR community. There are a lot of similarities between SLR and lidar, beginning from the laser radar technique and ending in the application for atmospheric monitoring or correction. Tomography is a new technique which can be applied from ground stations using retroreflectors in space or from space using hard targets on the ground. There are two lidars in orbit, BALKAN-1 on MIR and ALISSA on Priroda (MIR too). Results of these sensors and discussions of planned missions are the goal of the second part of the conference. (Could this be a realisable GLRS?) The conference will be different from all previous conferences. It is not just another conference where one presents results, gets one quick question and be quiet for the rest of the time. This conference will be a market for ideas. You can present your paper, have time for questions, and you can ask questions. The auditorium including yourself gets the information of the whole development in space laser radar from presentations, questions and answers. The session chairs are advised to stimulate the discussion. Therefore we will limit the number of accepted papers to real new material. All other papers can be presented as discussion contributions related to the accepted paper ( 3 to 5 viewgraphs) and as posters. We will provide time for special sessions in the afternoon (accompanied with wine and cheese) to exchange ideas or to present problems for discussions. Additional we plan to organise an excursion to the Satellite Laser Ranging station in Herstmonceux including a dinner at the Castle buffet. For the atmospheric propagation conference again a joint session is scheduled on the multiple scattering aspect . ------------------------------------ The complete call for the full conference can be obtained from the following Web- page: http://www.dc-europto.com The Abstract due date is:Feb. 23 1996 Please send your abstracts to: DLR- Oberpfaffenhofen Institut f|r Optoelektronik z.H.
