2 B. Gentry/GSFCSLWG 06/29/05 Q: How can we use ground based measurements to refine and validate future space based lidar system designs? 1)Validate the instrument performance behaves predictably versus measurable quantity (signal photocounts; signal to noise) under a variety of conditions. 2)Establish reference system designs to examine impact of performance trades (e.g. spatial and temporal averaging schemes) or engineering trades 3)Scaling of ground based system performance to equivalent space- based system reveals where improvements are required and provides direction for technology and instrument system development programs 4)Scaling also provides a sanity check for space based designs
