Development of mobile lidar for remote sensing of tropospheric ozone on the vertical and horizontal (slant) paths

Abstract

We present a mobile lidar for measuring, in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, the spatial distribution of ozone (O3) in the troposphere on the vertical and horizontal (slant) sensing paths, using the four-channel system of recording the return signals. The lidar operates, based on the lidar differential absorption and scattering method on the wavelength pair of 299 nm and 341 nm. We present a technical description of the lidar developed.
