Measurements of the urban ozone vertical profile with an airborne CO(2) DIAL.
An airborne DIAL system with two color pulsed CO(2) lasers has been developed for remote measurements of ozone distributions in an urban area. The airborne CO(2) DIAL is a nadir-directed and direct range-resolved system, since the system was designed to use aerosols between an aircraft and the ground surface as a distributed target. Flight tests were successfully conducted in September 1986 over Tokyo, Japan, at a flight altitude of 5000 ft (1.7 km). The airborne CO(2) DIAL instrument and its first measurements of the vertical profile of urban ozone are described.
