Abstract:

A mobile ozone lidar for sounding at wavelengths of 299 and 341 nm was designed and put into operation. The lidar is capable of covering the altitude range from 0.1 to 12 km with a spatial resolution of lidar signals from 1.5 to 150 m. The specification of the mobile lidar is given; the results of a field experiment on laser sounding of the atmosphere in Tomsk are presented. Echo signals received and the ozone profiles retrieved confirm the information content of lidar measurements in the troposphere. The results of lidar and satellite (MetOp) measurements are compared.

Keywords:

mobile lidar, lidar sensing, ozone
