East Asia and Western Pacific METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATE

In order to futher broaden applications of laser in atmospheric
probing, we have begun some theoretical research. For example, Huang
Runheng^29^ put forward the idea of using laser .scintillation effects
in wind sounding, Qiu Jinhuan and Lu Daren^0^ studied preliminarily
the Inversion algorithm of aerosol remote sensing from space-borne
lidar. It is expected that, in next ten years, space-borne and airborne
lldars, along with microwave active remote sensing, will improve
greatly the earth observation system.
