Abstract

The differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique is widely used for the measuring of ozone distribution in atmosphere.¹ But the results of the lidar sounding may be strongly affected by atmospheric aerosol, and the special corrections for aerosol spectral properties must be taken into account.² To diminish the possible systematical error of the measurements it is desirable to produce the sounding at the wavelengths with small frequency separation. In our report we present the description of new multiwavelength lidar system designed in Physical Instrumentation Center for the sounding of ozone and SO₂ gas in atmosphere.
