Measurements of the urban ozone vertical profile with an airborne CO2 DIAL

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An airborne DIAL system with two color pulsed CO2 lasers has been developed for remote measurements of ozone distributions in an urban area. The airborne CO2 DIAL is a nadir-directed and direct range-resolved system, since the system was designed to use aerosols between an aircraft and the ground surface as a distributed target. Flight tests were successfully conducted in September 1986 over Tokyo, Japan, at a flight altitude of 5000 ft (1.7 km). The airborne CO2 DIAL instrument and its first measurements of the vertical profile of urban ozone are described.
