A newly developed Raman lidar (Purple Pulse Lidar Systems) was applied during two summer measurement campaigns at Innsbruck (2022, Austria) and Villingen-Schwenningen (2023, Germany). We analyze the performance and limits of the instrument under changing weather conditions. Furthermore, we discuss its suitability for resolving turbulent processes and vertical energy fluxes in combination with a vertical wind profiler.
