Raman lidar system for the measurement of water vapor and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nighttime operating Raman lidar system that is designed for the measurement of high vertical and temporal resolution profiles of the water vapor mixing ratio and the aerosol backscattering ratio is described. The theory of the measurements is presented. Particular attention is given to operational problems that have been solved during the development of the system. Data are presented from Sept. 1987 and described in their meteorological context.

Long-Term Measurement for Low-Tropospheric Water Vapor and Aerosol by Raman Lidar in Wuhan
A Raman Lidar (RL) system is developed to measure the water vapor mixing ratio (WVMR) and aerosol optical property in Wuhan with high temporal-spatial resolution during rainless nights. The principle of the self-developed lidar system and data processing method are discussed. WVMR profiles of a representative case retrieved by RL, Radiosonde (RS), and microwave radiometer (MR) are in good agree...
متن کاملNew examination of the Raman lidar technique for water vapor and aerosols I: evaluating the temperature dependent lidar equations
The intent of this paper and its companion is to compile together the essential information required for the analysis of Raman lidar water vapor and aerosol data acquired using a single laser wavelength. In this first paper several details concerning the evaluation of the lidar equation when measuring Raman scattering are considered. These details include the influence of the temperature depend...
متن کاملDevelopment of the Hampton University Lidar System and the Realm Lidar Network
Lidar offers a plethora of information on atmospheric aerosols and chemical constituents. However, lidar systems typically work in vacuums, applied to specific applications, such as validation efforts, and with little collaboration with other institutions. In order to alleviate these limitations, the Hampton University (HU) lidar has made steps to join the CREST Lidar Network (originally the RE...
متن کاملDetection of Atmospheric Composition Based on Lidar
A summary overview about the types of lidar and their own applications on atmosphere detection is presented. Measurement of atmospheric aerosols by Mie lidar and Raman lidar is focused. The vertical profiles of aerosols in the atmosphere are retrieved. And at the same time, through analyzing aerosol vertical content distribution, the atmosphere boundary layer and the cloud are also observed. Al...
متن کاملRaman lidar profiling of aerosols over the central U.S.; diurnal variability and comparisons with the GOCART model
We use profiles of aerosol extinction, water vapor mixing ratio, and relative humidity measured by the ARM SGP Raman lidar in northern Oklahoma to show how the vertical distributions of aerosol extinction and water vapor vary throughout the diurnal cycle. While significant (20-30%) variations in aerosol extinction occurred near the surface as well as aloft, smaller (~10%) variations were observ...
