Ad. Papayannis, DEVELOPMENT OF A LASER REMOTE-SENSING SYSTEM (LIDAR) FOR AEROSOL AND OZONE VERTICAL PROFILE MEASUREMENTS IN THE LOWER TROPOSPHERE, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 4(7), 1995, pp. 449-454
In this paper is presented the development of a multiwavelength LIDAR
system (the first in Greece) for daytime and nighttime vertical profil
e measurements of ozone and aerosols in the lower troposphere (0.5-4 k
m). This LIDAR system uses state-of-the-art solid-state laser and elec
tronic technologies and is designed to be rugged, modular and simple t
o operate. The LIDAR wavelengths used are the 266 nm, 289 nm, 299 nm,
355 nm, and 532 nm, all derived from a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Further, i
n this paper, we present the scientific objectives of the LIDAR Projec
t and briefly describe the technical characteristics of the system dur
ing the various integration phases and report on the expected measurem
ent accuracy.
