Inversion technique to get vertical profiles of ozone in atmosphere using laser heterodyne system
Abstract
An inversion technique based on an inverse solution of the radiative transfer equations has been used to obtain vertical ozone profiles from laser heterodyne radiometer measurements. The Lorentz profile was employed below 25 km and the Voigt profiles above 25 km, where Doppler broadening is dominant. The computed spectral intensity of all 16 channels was inverted using an initial uniform vertical distribution of ozone, and the results are extrapolated in order to obtain a complete profile up to 40 km altitude. The inverted profile is found to compare well with the model ozone profile.
