Remote Sensing of Greenhouse gases by combining Lidar and Optical Correlation Spectroscopy

摘要

In this contribution, we present recent work on the ability to achieve range-resolved greenhouse gases concentration measurements in the Earth's atmosphere (CH_4, H_20) by combining broadband optical correlation spectroscopy (OCS) with lidar. We show that OCSLidar is a robust methodology, allowing trace gases remote sensing with a low dependence on the temperature and pressure-variation absorption cross section. Moreover, we evaluate, as an experimental proof, the water vapor profile in the planetary boundary layer using the 4v 720 nm absorption band.
