Remote Measurement of Water Vapor Concentration in the Atmosphere by Fluorescence Adsorption and Backscattering from a Tunable Laser Radar.
Abstract
A tunable laser radar system was designed to detect the water vapor content in the atmosphere by remote sensing. The basic physical process involved is the molecular resonance adsorption of water molecules. The method proposed is the differential adsorption method which compares the backscattering signal for a wavelength off of a water adsorption line to the signal for a wavelength on a water adsorption line.
