MARTHA (“Multiwavelength Atmospheric Raman Lidar for Temperature, Humidity, and Aerosol Profiling") is the biggest and oldest lidar at TROPOS in Leipzig. It received an additional receiving channel in August 2022 that can measure fluorescence backscatter which is currently proving very helpful in observing smoke from wildfires.
