Turk, Michael IanAbstract
This Thesis describes the development and application of a Laser Radar
(LIDAR), at the University of Sydney in 1971-1973.
The Thesis can be summarised under three headings:
1) Review of background experiments and relevant theory;
2) Description of the Laser Radar apparatus;
3) Analysis of Laser Radar measurements in the Sydney region
including celiometry, studies of diurnal changes, measure—
ments during the passage of cold fronts and investigation
of the effects of local meteorological conditions and atmospheric
water vapour on backscattering.This Thesis describes the development and application of a Laser Radar
