چکیده
A high-resolution differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) system for long-path atmospheric pollution monitoring is described. The system, consisting of a broadband lamp and a dispersive, fast-scanning optical receiver, separated by a few kilometers, was used in measurements of different pollutants, highlighted by the monitoring of the local concentration of atomic mercury. Mercury levels in the ppt (1:10(12)) range were assessed by comparisons with laboratory measurements.

Atmospheric atomic mercury monitoring using differential absorption lidar techniques.
Three-dimensional mapping of atmospheric atomic mercury has been performed with lidar techniques, to our knowledge, for the first time. Industrial pollution monitoring, as well as measurements of background concentrations, is reported. High-efficiency frequency doubling of narrowband pulsed dye laser radiation was employed to generate intense radiation at the mercury UV resonance line. Field me...
متن کاملNumerical analysis and estimation of the statistical error of differential optical absorption spectroscopy measurements with least-squares methods.
Differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) has become a widely used method to measure trace gases in the atmosphere. Their concentration is retrieved by a numerical analysis of the atmospheric absorption spectra, which often are a combination of overlapping absorption structures of several trace gases. A new analysis procedure was developed, modeling atmospheric spectra with the absorp...

Sensitivity, specifity, high time resolution and cost effective simultaneous measurements of several components using operational systems are the main requirements for atmospheric research and air pollution monitoring. Tunable diode lasers absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is increasingly beeing used to measure atmospheric trace gas concentrations down to low ppb-levels volume mixing ratio). This...
متن کاملSatellite monitoring of different vegetation types by differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) in the red spectral range
A new method for the satellite remote sensing of different types of vegetation and ocean colour is presented. In contrast to existing algorithms relying on the strong change of the reflectivity in the red and near infrared spectral region, our method analyses weak narrow-band (few nm) reflectance structures (i.e. “fingerprint” structures) of vegetation in the red spectral range. It is based on ...
متن کاملMeasurement and Analysis of Atmospheric Species Using a Low Power Supercontinuum Laser
Optical remote sensing systems operating on the principle of differential absorption have been employed since the mid-1970s for measuring airborne species. Multiwavelength sensing approaches, such as differential absorption lidar (DIAL) and differential absorption and scattering (DAS), are used for single (or a few) species detection boasting high sensitivity and long path detection capability....
