Environmental Monitoring Solutions
The CE376 is the latest compact, eyesafe backscatter LiDAR, featuring outstanding performances for the automated continuous monitoring of aerosols.
It operates in the visible (green) and/or in the near infrared (NIR) with options for depolarization channels for enhanced aerosol characterization.
The rugged, fully integrated system operates without shutdown, any human attendance, authorization, nor maintenance. With its thermal enclosure, the LiDAR can withstand extreme environmental conditions.
The CE376 is particularly easy to install (indoor or outdoor), to transport and even to use onboard a vehicle or a plane.
It is therefore, the perfect solution to monitor industrial dust emissions, urban pollution, volcanic ashes, and all type of aerosol particles.

** Molecular detection range
Defined, in the absence of clouds, as the distance up to which the molecular signal (of atmospheric gases) can be measured (with a signal to noise ratio superior to 1).
Aerosols and especially clouds (like cirruses) are detected well above this range (depending on their local concentration).

The effects of atmospheric aerosols at global scale on climate change and environmental evolution are critical for coming generations and the future of our planet.
The CE318 is the reference for automatic multispectral atmospheric photometry. Developed for the NASA in 1992, it was constantly improved to meet the growing requirements of AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork), the worldwide federation of networks dedicated to the measurement of atmospheric aerosols and federated by the NASA. Other independent networks like SKYNET, CARSNET, and SONET also operate CE318 photometers.
