Resumen
This study present the recent advances made on a multiwavelength elastic scanning lidar placed at the
industrial area of Cubat??o in the State of S??o Paulo (Brazil). Special attention has been paid to the characterization of
the instrumental performance of this lidar system, in particular regarding to its electronic subsystem. To this aim, the
quality assurance tests, regularly applied in well-established lidar networks such as LALINET and EARLINET, were
applied to the Cubat??o scanning lidar in order to improve the knowledge of its performing itself and to design
protocols for correcting lidar signal for undesirable instrumental effects. In particular, the trigger delay was assessed
by means of zero-bin and bin-shift tests for analog and photo-counting signals, respectively. Dark current test is also
performed to detect potential range-dependency that could affect lidar products. The application of the results
derived from these tests together with the state-of-the-art methodologies to characterize the particle optical and
microphysical properties inside industrial flares demonstrate the potential of this lidar for the study and measurement
of industrial emissions.
