Abstract:

The results are presented of the numerical modeling of laser sounding of atmospheric temperature and humidity using a differential absorption method in the near IR spectral range (water vapor absorption bands 0.72 and 0.94 μm, and oxygen band 0.76 μm) by means of the MEL–01 meteorological lidar. The possibilities are shown of performing of both two-frequency and three-frequency methods of sounding meteorological parameters. The absorption lines of water vapor and oxygen suitable for sounding of the temperature and humidity profiles in the lower troposphere have been selected. It is shown that the random errors in reconstructing humidity do not exceed 10% in the altitude range up to 1.8 km, and the error in reconstructing temperature does not exceed 0.5 K at the altitudes up to 1.2 km.
