Solar-Blind Raman Lidar.
Abstract
This document describes the progress of the NADC Atmospheric Lidar Program funded by the Naval Environmental Prediction Research Facility, Monterey, California, under Program Element 62759N, Project F52553. The objective of this effort is to theoretically determine and experimentally verify the ability of a solar-blind lidar system to remotely measure profiles of atmospheric properties critical to naval operations. The properties chosen for investigation are water vapor concentration, temperature and transmission; with the acquisition of water vapor profiles as the primary goal. The theoretical feasibility studies have been thoroughly documented via publication in a professional journal, a technical report and a text on atmospheric water vapor. In addition, experimental results using a KrF excimer laser were presented at the winter 1983 topical meeting of the Optical Society of America. These results are presented in this document.
