Measurement of Atmospheric Temperature

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The spectrum of Rayleigh scattered light contains information about the temperature. Measuring principles are discussed. A system is analyzed. It has the potential for measuring the temperature at ranges up to 10 km in a few minutes. Problems in the implementation are discussed. Tentative measurements are presented.
