Abstract:
The vertical profile of the atmospheric temperature up to 14.5 km has been measured based on the ratio of the intensities for two sections of the rotational line spectrum of spontaneous Raman scattering (SRS) by the nitrogen molecules. The estimate of the error in determining the temperature profile is given as a function of altitude. The experimental results presented in the paper confirm the possibility of measuring the temperature up to the altitudes of the tropopause by the SRS technique predicted at the design stage of the laser sounding station.
