LIDAR laser atmospheric research. LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) laser beam shining into the night sky. LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that can be used to study and measure atmospheric properties such as density, temperature, wind, turbulence and composition. This Rayleigh LIDAR can fire a laser beam to heights of 100 kilometres. Photographed at the CEL (Centre d'Essais des Landes) research centre in France.
