Coherent DIAL profiling in turbulent atmosphere
Abstract
Because of the presence of atmospheric refractive turbulence, it is necessary to use simulations of beam propagation to examine the uncertainty added to the differential absorption lidar (DIAL) measurement process of a practical heterodyne lidar. The outcomes of our analysis illustrate the relative sensitivity of coherent DIAL systems under general atmospheric conditions and different instrument configurations.
