More than 800 papers were published dealing with TDL applications(1). However, the method was not widely used in routine operations due to several reasons. One of them is a necessity of laser cooling systems. Complicity of TDL systems and their inevitable high costs are the other one. Moreover, lasers' properties, their irreproducibility and necessity of highly qualified operators to run the instrument may be considered as the main reason restricting dramatically the broad implementation of TDL systems. In the present paper we will discuss briefly the last subject and possible improvement of TDL system characteristics.","PeriodicalId":320202,"journal":{"name":"Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126644913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thermal motion of aerosol and cloud particles is much slower and the backscatter spectrum is nearly unchanged. The University of Wisconsin High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) measures optical properties of the atmosphere by separating the Doppler-broadened molecular backscatter return from the unbroadened aerosol return1. The molecular backscatter cross section can be calculated from the molecular density profile. Thus, observing the magnitude of the measured molecular signal relative to the computed profile allows unambiguous measurement of the atmospheric extinction profile. The ratio of the aerosol return to the molecular return along with the computed molecular cross section provides direct measurement of the aerosol backscatter cross section.","PeriodicalId":320202,"journal":{"name":"Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere","volume":"356 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116132671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high spectral resolution and throughput of this device make it ideal for measuring the line shapes and Doppler shifts of absorption and emission spectral features. Detectors for near visible Fabry-Perot interferometers have advanced from photographic film to single channel photomultipliers to multichannel photomultipliers. Further advances in our understanding of the physical processes dominating the upper atmosphere demand observational capability near 1µ. In the red and near-infrared portions of the spectrum, charge-coupled devices (CCD) are very efficient detectors. High quantum efficiency and broad spectral response (UV to near infrared) render CCDs highly desirable as imaging devices for Fabry-Perot interferometer applications. Other important characteristics of CCDs are their high spatial resolution, low noise, large dynamic range and linearity. A major limitation is the read noise, which restricts low light level applications unless special precautions are taken. This paper discusses one way to reduce the effect of read noise when the image is a circularly symmetric pattern such as a Fabry-Perot finge.","PeriodicalId":320202,"journal":{"name":"Optical Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116415619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
