Latin American Lidar Network
Guided by the founding principles established in 2001, this network aims to advance atmospheric science in Latin America by encouraging collaboration among researchers using lidar technology for remote sensing. We provide high-quality, vertically resolved atmospheric data to support scientific research, climate monitoring, and evidence-based policy decisions. We promote empowering young researchers, strengthening local expertise, and filling critical observational gaps in the Southern Hemisphere through regional cooperation, technical standardization, and capacity building. We contribute to understanding aerosols, clouds, and their impacts on air quality, weather, and climate by integrating ground-based lidar networks and fostering institutional partnerships in Latin America and worldwide.
