Abstract:

The possibility of the application of the optimum Markovian filtration to lidar sounding by the differential absorption (DA) method is shown on the basis of the Markovian model of the altitude fluctuations of the gas concentration smoothed by the lidar pulse. The algorithms for optimum estimation of the fluctuating profile of the gas concentration and its variance are found. The efficiency is analyzed by the numerical simulation method for four hypothetic lidars with the acceptable power as applied to the ozone sounding in the Hartley and Higgins bands.
