Raman Lidar Profiling of Atmospheric Water Vapor

Abstract

Detailed measurements of the distribution of water vapor in the atmosphere are needed for a variety of scientific inquiries, including global climate change and related issues in radiative processes (water vapor is the major greenhouse gas in the atmosphere), and studies of a variety of atmospheric processes such as cloud formation and atmospheric circulation. The Raman lidar is a leading candidate for an instrument capable of the detailed, time- and space-resolved measurements required by these and other studies.
