Space-based active optical remote sensing of carbon dioxide column using high-energy two-micron pulsed ipda lidar

Modeling of a space-based high-energy 2-μm triple-pulse Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) lidar was conducted to demonstrate carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) measurement capability and to evaluate random and systematic errors. A high pulse energy laser and an advanced MCT e-APD detector were inco...

Summary:Modeling of a space-based high-energy 2-μm triple-pulse Integrated Path Differential Absorption (IPDA) lidar was conducted to demonstrate carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) measurement capability and to evaluate random and systematic errors. A high pulse energy laser and an advanced MCT e-APD detector were incorporated in this model. Projected performance shows 0.5 ppm precision and 0.3 ppm bias in low-tropospheric column CO 2 mixing ratio measurements from space for 10 second signal averaging over Railroad Valley (RRV) reference surface.
