Remote Determination of Meteorological and Optical Parameters of the Atmosphere Using a Raman Lidar

Abstract

As known, the boundary atmospheric layer is just the region between the Earth’s surface and the free atmosphere where most dynamic processes take place. The investigation of these processes is very important for obtaining the information on the conditions of temperature inversions formation as well as on the diffusion of various atmospheric components including pollutions. It is also important for studying the heat transfer from the ground to the atmosphere.
