ABSTRACT: Atmospheric aerosol backscattering coefficient ratio can be obtained with the ratio of elastic signal to the total rotational Raman backscattering signal without assuming the ratio of aerosol extinction to backscatter. Generally, the intensity ofpartial rotational Raman spectrum lines instead of the total rotational Raman spectrum lines is measured. The intensity of the total rotational Raman spectrum lines is not dependent on the temperature, but the intensity of the partialrotational Raman spectrumlines is dependent on the temperature. So calculating aerosol backscattering coefficient ratio with the intensity of the partial rotational Raman spectrum lines would lead to an error. In the present paper, the change in the intensity sums of different rotational Raman spectrum lines with temperature was simulated and the errors of aerosol backscattering coefficient ratio derived from them were discussed. A new method was presented for measuring aerosol backscattering coefficient ratio, which needed not to measure the intensity of the total rotational Raman spectrum lines. Aerosol backscattering coefficient ratio could be obtained with the atmospheric temperature and a single rotational Raman spectrum line. Finally, a erosol backscattering coefficient ratio profiles of the atmosphere were acquired with the combined Raman lidar of our lab. The results show that there is no need to assume any relation between aerosol backscattering and extinction or to consider any wavelength calibration to determine the aerosol scattering coefficient.

ABSTRACT: Due to lower tropospheric aerosols, the Rayleigh and vibrational Raman methods can't measure lower tropospheric temperature profiles accurately. By using N2 and O2 molecular pure rotational Raman scattering signals, lower tropospheric temperature profiles can be gained without influence of lower tropospheric aerosols. So we decide to use a pure rotational Raman Lidar to get lower tropospheric temperature profiles. At present, because the most light-splitting systems of pure rotational Raman Lidar measure temperature by gaining a single rotational Raman line, the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of these Lidar systems are very low. So we design a new kind of Lidar light-splitting system which can sum different rotational Raman lines and it can improve SNR And we can find the sensitivity of the temperature of the ratios of multi rotational Raman lines is as same as single rotational Raman line's through theoretical analysis. Moreover, we can obtain the temperature profiles with good SNR fromthis new the system with a normal laser and a small telescope up to several kilometers. At last, with the new light-splitting system, the lower tropospheric temperature profiles are measured from 0.3 km to 5 km altitude. They agree well with radiosonde observations, which demonstrate the results of our rotational Raman lidar are reasonable.

ABSTRACT: The parameters of AML-2 mobile lidar were introduced, which was based on differential absorption principle and designed by our institute. In Yufa of Beijing, the pollutants including O3, NO2, SO2 in atmospheric boundary layer were monitored in August and September of 2006 under different weather conditions. Vertical profile and diurnal variation of concentrations of these pollutants were analyzed. If without the influence of pollution air transport from south region, the concentrations of these pollutants are low under the overcast weather condition. The concentrations of O3 and NO2 decrease with altitude, and this characteristic is not obvious for SO2, but there is a high concentration layer of SO2 near ground (about 0.6km). The quality of atmosphere Beijing is influenced significantly by air transportation from south region, and the altitude of the severe pollution air transport is about 1km to 1.5km in August 23rd to 25th. As a result, the characteristics of vertical profile and daily variation of the pollutants are changed, and the concentrations of O3, NO2, SO2 in atmospheric boundary layer of Yufa area increased obviously.

ABSTRACT: Raman lidar is an important tool for the detection of atmosphere pollution, and inversion for lidar returns is an important process. The key for inversion is to get transmission exponential function exp [integral of 0 (R) [alpha(lambda1, z) - alpha(lambda2, z)]]. Three methods with extinction coefficient as the center are presented. First, 532 nm atmospheric extinction coefficient was used to indirectly obtain alpha(lambda1, z) and alpha(lambda2, z). This method has been used generally by people. Two new methods were proposed: 1, reference gas with approximate Raman wavelength is used so that alpha(lambda1, z) = alpha(lambda2, z). 2, Mie-Rayleigh scattered return with wavelength lambda1 or lambda2 is used to compute exp [integral of 0 (R) [alpha(lambda1, z) - alpha(lambda2, z)]].

ABSTRACT: It is a new skill to use SRS rays as emitting waves for the lidar monitoring CO2 gas, and the nonlinear Raman lidar based on the SRS process was devised. The third harmonic Nd: YAG laser wave (354.7 nm) was injected into the Raman cells filled with higher pressure gases, CO2 and N2. The first Stokes (S1) line 371.66 nm (CO2) and 386.7 nm (N2) were generated by stimulated Raman scattering. The variable S1 energy was measured by changing the gas pressure in the Raman cell andthe Nd:YAG laser system output energy. The optimum pressures of the CO2 and N2 in the Raman cell were achieved. Moreover, the principles of this physical process were put forward. This skill has been applied to the lidar for monitoring the CO2 gas.
