at California State University, Chico
The REAL, developed at
National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
between 2001 and 2007 with funding from the
National Science Foundation (NSF), is presently maintained and operated at the
California State University, Chico.
Initial funding to set up the REAL at Chico State comes from NCAR,
ITT Corporation, and
CSU Chico's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (RESP). The
CSU-Chico College of Agriculture and
University Farm host the lidar.
Dr. Shane Mayor manages the project with help
from the Department of Physics. A recent grant from the National Science Foundation provides funding for analysis of REAL data collected during CHATS.
