Great success of Micro Pulse Lidar at the Meteorological Technology World Expo 2011, in Brussels. Over 100 exhibitors and over 1,500 registered attendees from 60+ countries participated in the first exhibition of its kind showcasing cutting edge meteorological instruments. Micro Pulse Lidar is gaining prominence in the meteorology community with the demonstration of superior observation capability over traditional instrumentation. Sigma's Micro Pulse Lidar systems and examples of boundary layer dynamics, multiple cloud layer and volcanic ash detection were presented, all of which are challenging for existing ceilometers or radars. "The focus and format of this exhibition has been very good in bringing together the latest in instrument technology and the meteorologist user community together, as some of the larger conferences we have attended", reports Savy Mathur, MPL Program Manager. This sentiment was echoed by a number of exhibitors in the show.
