Laser probing of trace gases in the atmosphere
Abstract
The importance of trace gases in the mesosphere, stratosphere, and, particularly, in the troposphere is described. Measurement techniques are discussed with emphasis on remote sensing and laser probing. The growth of laser probing work at the National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, and a planned program at the University of Calcutta, are also outlined.
