Fakultät Naturwissenschaften Universität Hohenheim Institut für Physik und Meteorologie Vorgelegt von Sandip Pal aus Cooch Behar, Indien 2009 This thesis was accepted as a doctoral dissertation in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree “Doktor der Naturwissenschaften” by the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany on 4 December 2008. Date of oral examination: 23 January 2009 Examination committee: Supervisor and reviewer: Prof. Dr. V. Wulfmeyer Institute for Physics and Meteorology, University of Hohenheim Co-reviewer: Prof. Dr. Th. Foken Institute for Micrometeorology, University of Bayreuth Additional examiner: Prof. Dr. K. Jetter Institute for Applied Mathematics and Statistics, University of Hohenheim Dean: Prof. Dr. H. Breer Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of Hohenheim Abstract A high-power eye-safe scanning aerosol lidar system in the ultraviolet wavelength region is introduced for the study of the optical properties of aerosol particles and transport processes in the atmosphere, especially in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL).
