Short summary
A method is introduced to expand the observational capability of a diode-laser-based lidar system. This method allows the lidar transmitter to change the laser pulse characteristics from one shot to the next. We use this capability to lower the minimum altitude of observation and to observe clouds with higher range resolution.
