Abstract
Ozone is formed in the low altitude stratosphere as a product of the natural process of photodissociation of molecular oxygen. In the lower troposphere, it is formed by photochemical reactions involving urban traffic and industrial smog air pollutants. Monitoring its concentration in urban and industrial areas could form part of a general air pollution monitoring campaign, whereas measuring vertical concentration profiles at altitudes from 5 to 10 km may give insight on the interchange rate between the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The C0/sub 2/ laser source LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) /DIAL (Differential Absorption LIDAR) station at the ENEA Research Centre in Frascati (Italy) was developed with the aim of monitoring minor atmospheric constituents like ozone and water vapor, as well as, gaseous pollutants. The DIAL technique uses the absorption differences at two wavelengths to measure gas concentrations. Range resolved concentrations can be obtained by collecting the radiation backscattered by atmospheric molecules and aerosols, while by using a topographic or calibrated target, it is possible to extract very accurate range integrated values.
