Abstract: The atmospheric transparency measurement for the telescope array (TA) experiment is made by using a back-scatter LIDAR system and the central laser facility (CLF) that is a bistatic LIDAR. Both systems use a pulsed energy tripled YAG laser (355 nm). However, these systems have complementary advantages and disadvantages. A new backscatter measurement has been added to the CLF making it possible to measure, atmospheric transparency at short distances close to the surface. This new system is called LIDAR@CLF. The system and its use are discussed.
