The intent of this research project was to develop and apply Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) technology to the assessment of air quality, and to evaluate its usefulness by actual field tests. Necessary hardware, to be described below (Section 3Aii) was successfully constructed and operated in the field. Measure¬ments of necessary physical parameters, such as SO2 absorption coefficients were successfully completed, and theoretical pre¬dictions of differential absorption performance were reported. Plume modeling improvements were proposed (cf. appendix).
