Popis: | We have numerically studied the use of a genetic algorithm for reconstructing vertical concentration profiles of trace atmospheric gases from the data of pulsed broadband lidar sounding in a frequency range covering the regions of selective optical absorption of these gases. A generalized form of the lidar equation is proposed that takes into account finite spectral intervals of backscattered radiation. The possibility of using pulsed excilamps of the new generation as sources of radiation for the optical sounding of the atmosphere is demonstrated for the first time. The validity of the proposed approach is illustrated by quantitative examples. |
