| Name | M55 ALTO |
| Acronym | ALTO-M55 |
| Manufacturer | |
| Operated by | Geophysica-GEIE |
| Operated onboard |
| Name | Aerosol LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) |
| Acronym | Aerosol LIDAR |
| Measured parameter | Aerosol backscatter coefficient |
| Operating principle | Laser pulses are transmitted, the backscattered radiation is collected in a telescope and measured by appropriate detectors. The ranging is done by measuring the pulse travel time. The backscattered signal contains information on the microphysical particle properties (aerosol Lidar). |
| Measurement(s) | Active Remote Sensing |
