This book focuses on atmospheric remote sensing with spaceborne lidar, centering on the Daqi-1(DQ-1) Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Lidar (ACDL) and its integrated HSRL and IPDA techniques for observing clouds, aerosols, and CO₂. It presents the theoretical foundations, hardware design, end-to-end simulation, retrieval algorithms, validation strategies, and representative applications of the system. Rich figures, tables, case studies, and a clear step-by-step structure make complex methods accessible. Readers will gain a systematic understanding of advanced active remote sensing technologies and their scientific applications. The book is especially valuable for researchers, graduate students, and engineers in remote sensing, atmospheric science, optical engineering, and earth observation areas.
