This first evaluation of this new kind of investigation into the lower layers of the atmosphere shows that it is possible to monitor, minute by minute, both the thermical stratification of the atmosphere, and the localization of the aerosols or pre-condensation layers, in clear sky as well as when clouds are present. The modification brought to the instrument is software-only, and seems to be very promising. This modified instrument should rapidly find a place of choice among the instruments routinely used to investigate the atmosphere's lower reaches. The main possible applications for this new instrument are urban meteorology and probably as an help to the observer for the characterization of Present Weather.
