Laser Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Pollutants.

Abstract

The specific tasks carried out during FY84 for this research program consisted of the following: (1) Continuation of the C02 DIAL program with a remote sensing measurement of NH3 and an analysis of system accuracy limitations, (2) further improvements in the Co:MgF2 DIAL system measurement capability, (3) column-content remote sensing of HCl and initial range-resolved H20 concentration measurements with the Co:MgF2 DIAL system, and (4) initial investigation of frequency shifting the Co:MgF2 laser radiation. Originator supplied keywords include: laser remote sensing, environmental monitoring, differential absorption LIDAR (DIAL), ammonia, hydrogen chloride.
