Abstract

Computer simulations of the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique in a space craft for the purpose of temperature and humidity profiling indicate: 1) current technology applied to O2 and H2O lines in the 0.7 to 0.8 micrometre wavelength band gives sufficiently high signal-to-noise ratios if backscattering is high; 2) the impact of short term fluctuations in aerosol particle concentration is too big for a one laser system; 3) the finite width of the laser line and the quasi-random shift of this line introduce tolerable, partly systematic errors.-from Authors
