| Abstract: | The technology and applications of the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique have progressed significantly since
the first DIAL measurements of Schotland 1], and airborne DIAL measurements of ozone and water vapor are frequently being
made in a wide range of field experiments. In addition, plans are underway to develop DIAL systems for use on satellites for
continuous global measurements. This paper will highlight the history of airborne lidar and DIAL systems, summarize the major
accomplishments of the NASA Langley DIAL program, and discuss specifications and goals for DIAL systems in space.
