Lidar for remote measurement of ozone in the exhaust plumes of launch vehicles

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Large quantities of chlorine and alumina particles are injected directly into the stratosphere by the current fleet of launch vehicles. Environmental concerns have been raised over the impact of the rocket exhaust on the ozone layer. Recently, differential absorption lidar (DIAL) was selected for remote sensing of ozone density within the plumes of Titan IV launch vehicles. The application of DIAL to this very challenging problem is described, and an implementation of W-ozone DIAL 1s discussed that holds promise for this application.
