. A real-time system of a remotely controlled laser and pattern recognition is deployed at HiRes to probe the atmosphere between the observatory and high energy air showers shortly after their detection. Shower candidates are identified in real-time by a pattern recognition and pseudo distance algorithm deployed on the digital signal processors of the HiRes-2 DAQ system. Event parameters are then passed from the fluorescence detector to the local steerable laser. These requests interrupt the hourly full sky laser sweep and generate a sequence of shots along the shower plane. The detector at HiRes1 records the profiles of these laser shots that can be examined for the presence of clouds and other aerosols.
