Lidar (Laser Rader) is useful as remote mesurement method for the altitude distribution of atmospheric components.
It is, however, difficult to apply this present Lidar method to the
monitor of 3-dimensional atmospheric component distribution
because of narrow field-of-view.
In this development plan, by applying an optical system with
simultaneous high-speed imaging, ultra-wide field-of-view and
arc-minutes resolution, which has been developed for monitoring cosmic
ray images, we will realize apparatus to 3-dimensional real-time image
Lidar monitor with high-speed and high-resolution.
We will demonstrate the real performance as a monitor of automobile
exhaust gases and aerosols at a cross road as well as urban aerosols
and wide-area ozone layer watching from the roof-top of our the research
building.
