Abstract

With the increasing concern about global atmospheric change, the need for accurate measurement of atmospheric trace species has increased. Laser long path absorption spectrometry is the most sensitive method for remotely measuring atmospheric trace species in the troposphere. The concept of an earth-space-earth laser long path absorption measurement is not new,1 but no experiment has been implemented as yet. Many experiments have been carried out on laser ranging using reflector arrays by Bufton2 and other researchers.
