摘要
A Raman-lidar designed for the measurement of water-vapor profiles in the atmospheric boundary-layer is presented.The light source is a frequency-doubled ruby laser; Raman returns are digitized and stored in a multichannel analyzer prior to computer processing.Profiles up to 1800 m with a vertical resolution of 30 m are obtained; the accuracy is about 15% at a height of 1000 m.The validity of the measurement is discussed, and lidar soundings are compared with coincident meteorological radio-soundings.As an application, successive lidar profiles are used to determine the height-time structure of water-vapor, illustrating the possibilities of the Raman-lidar.© 1979 Optical Society of America.
