Abstract
A feasibility study is presented for an airborne, laser-based hygromet er, which is intended to be part of the STRATO 2C, the German high-alt itude research aircraft. A unique feature of the system considered is an open absorption path, located outside the aircraft. The optical, me chanical and electronic design of the instrument is presented as well as model calculations describing the expected system performance betwe en ground and 26 km altitude.
