چکیده
We report on the atmospheric pressure measurements using a fiber-based laser system using the oxygen A-band at 765 nm. Remote measurements of atmospheric temperature and pressure are required for a number of scientific applications including greenhouse gas monitoring, weather prediction, and climate modeling.

Pulsed airborne lidar measurements of atmospheric optical depth using the Oxygen A-band at 765 nm.
We report on an airborne demonstration of atmospheric oxygen optical depth measurements with an IPDA lidar using a fiber-based laser system and a photon counting detector. Accurate knowledge of atmospheric temperature and pressure is required for NASA's Active Sensing of CO2 Emissions over Nights, Days, and Seasons (ASCENDS) space mission, and climate modeling studies. The lidar uses a doubled ...
متن کاملLaser Amplifier Development for IPDA Lidar measurements of CO2 from Space
Accurate global measurements of tropospheric CO2 mixing ratios are needed to better understand the global carbon cycle and the CO2 exchange between land, oceans and atmosphere. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is developing a pulsed lidar approach for an integrated path differential absorption (IPDA) lidar as a candidate for the NASA’s planned ASCENDS mission to allow global measurements...
متن کاملDevelopment of airborne 2-μm coherent lidar for CO2 and wind measurements
Wind profile is fundamental in many atmospheric phenomena. Most of the weather stations are on land, while the stations on the sea are very sparse. Present global three-dimensional wind data is not good enough to improve numerical weather prediction, the global climate model, and many other meteorological studies. Spaceborne infrared and visible imagers and microwave scatterometers can make win...
متن کاملConditional Random Fields for Airborne Lidar Point Cloud Classification in Urban Area
Over the past decades, urban growth has been known as a worldwide phenomenon that includes widening process and expanding pattern. While the cities are changing rapidly, their quantitative analysis as well as decision making in urban planning can benefit from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital models. The recent developments in imaging and non-imaging sensor technologies, s...
متن کاملAtmospheric Correction of Airborne Passive Measurements of Fluorescence
A new instrument for passive remote sensing of sunlight-induced fluorescence took part in a series of airborne measurements during the summer 2005 (SEN2FLEX campaign). It measured for the first time the chlorophyll fluorescence emission over a succession of cultivated fields. The sensor is based on the Fraunhofer line discrimination principle, applied to the atmospheric oxygen absorption bands ...
