Abstract
A space-based Doppler lidar wind sounder (LAWS) is being proposed as an EOS facility instrument. On a polar orbiting platform, LAWS is expected to provide a global set of wind profiles throughout the troposphere. These profiles will be bounded below by the earth’s surface or opaque clouds and limited to those areas having sufficient aerosols and/or thin cirrus.
