Abstract
Describes recent technological advances that enable the efficient measurement of atmospheric water vapour profiles. In particular eye safe visible and near IR lidars that use GaAlAs are considered. The possibility is investigated of calibrating the lidar when the molecular cross-section is unknown by making use of auxiliary information in the form of microwave radiometry derived column water vapour amount.<>
