Mobile remote sensing system for atmospheric monitoring
A mobile optical remote sensing system for environmental monitoring is described. The system, housed in a full-size truck with a laboratory floor surface of 6.0 x 2.3 m/sup 2/, is mainly intended for differential absorption lidar (DIAL) applications but can also be used for laser-induced fluorescence monitoring and for absorption measurements using classical light sources. The system has a 40-cm diam receiving telescope and fully steerable flat mirror in transmitting/receiving dome. A Nd:YAG-pumped dye laser with auxiliary nonlinear frequency conversion is the preferred transmitter in DIAL measurements. Meaurement examples for atmospheric SO/sub 2/ and NO/sub 2/ monitoring with automatic concentration map drawings are given and further uses are discussed.
