Correction function for the lidar equation and some techniques for incoherent CO(2) lidar data reduction.
The convolution effect in CO(2) lidar return signals caused by the long laser pulse is analyzed by modifying the original lidar equation and introducing a correction function C(r)(R). The characteristics of C(r)(R) are discussed in detail, leading to a deconvolution technique consisting of a two-step iteration procedure for the extraction of both the ackscattering coefficient and the gas species content in differential absorption lidar measurement.
