Abstract: A portable Micro-pulsed Mie scattering lidar at the laser wavelength of 532 nm has
been developed for routine observation of atmospheric optical properties of the lower
troposphere, including boundary layer structure, cloud, the distribution of aerosol and horizontal
visibility and so on. The configuration of lidar and its design methods including the hardware and
software were described in details. The lidar system was controlled by compact computer,
including self adjustment for coaxial lidar, three-dimensional scanning, real-time data processing
of visualization and inversion online. The experimental results illustrate that the system can
measure the atmospheric aerosols up to the range of near 5 km at daytime and up to 15 km at
