Rotational Raman Lidar for Lower Tropospheric Temperature Profiling

Abstract

Accurate sensing of the tropospheric temperature profile is basically needed in meteorology and 3D mapping of the boundary layer atmospheric temperature over urban and industrial areas. Several temperature lidar techniques were investigated, including Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL), rotational and vibrational Raman, Rayleigh and high resolution Rayleigh schemes. For the tropospheric applications, the rotational Raman scheme looks potentially advantageous, but several stringent technical problems still remain to be solved. Reported here are the continuing efforts of the system development of the rotational Raman lidar.
