Abstract:
Two suboptimal estimates of the concentrations of the atmospheric constituents applicable for processing the data obtained using the elastic and Raman scattering lidars as well as the resonance fluorescence lidar are synthesized based on the measurement of laser pulse energies during every sensing step. Two formulas are derived for the errors in these estimates. The advantage of one estimate over another and over the conventionally used intuitive estimate is demonstrated by way of example.
