34. Meteorology: LIDAR has been used for study of the cloud and its behavior since it was invented. It uses its wavelength to strike small particles in the cloud to understand it. There are different kinds of LIDAR presents which does typical task in the cloud.

Elastic backscatter LiDAR: It is the simplest type of LiDAR and is typically used for studies of aerosols and clouds.

Differential Absorption LiDAR (DIAL): It is used for the measurements of a gas like ozone, carbon dioxide, or water vapor.

Raman LiDAR: It is also used for measuring the concentration of atmospheric gases but also to take the quantity of aerosol parameters present.

Doppler LiDAR: It is used to measure wind speed.
