Measurements of Thermal Profiles in the Stratosphere and Lower Mesosphere with Rayleigh Scattering Lidar
瑞利散射激光雷达探测平流层和中间层低层大气温度

A Rayleigh scattering lidar is introduced to measure the vertical distribution of atmospher-ic temperature over the altitudes of 22 to 60 km. Two kinds of algorithms for calculating temperature are investigated. Thermal profiles obtained by this Rayleigh Lidar agree very well with satellite UARS / HALOE and radiosonde observations. Numerical simulation is made to analyze the influence of aerosols on thermal profile in the lower stratosphere.
