Abstract:

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the Raman lidar technique for remote sensing of atmospheric emissions from stacks. Analysis made in the paper allows a more correct measurement technique to be proposed. A possibility of measuring simultaneously with the pollutants number densities the emission jet outflow velocity and temperature is shown. This enables one to estimate the gross yields of pollutants at a stack mouth. Thus extended capabilities of the Raman lidar technique are illustrated with experimental results obtained at the West Siberian Steel Production Plant in Novokuznetsk.
