Description:

We describe an experimental laser weather identification instrument designed to test the feasibility of making automatic identification of precipitation and other obscurations to visibility. The nature of the optical signals and electronic processing of these signals to make weather identification are discussed in detail. We have given instructions for preparing the instrument prior to taking data, as well as a complete set of electronic circuit diagrams needed for instrument maintenance.
