Abstrakt: 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.
