A volume imaging lidar (VIL) has been designed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to characterize large (10 m to 1 km) aeresol structures in the maritime environment. The system is mounted in a shipping container and uses a dual mirror scanning system, Nd:YAG (1.06 micron) laser, and a 35 cm telescope. Measurements are routinely made at NRL's Chesapeake Beach Detachment (CBD) located 40 miles southeast of Washington DC. In addition, the system has been used at coastal sites (Wallops Island, VA and Point Sur, CA) and aboard ship (RV GLORITA). This paper discusses the design and operation of the VIL as well as its unique measurement capabilities. (MM).
