Abstract

A possibility of retrieving the columnar concentration of carbon dioxide using a neural network is analyzed, as well as the concentration profile when sounding from a space orbit of 450 km and from an aerostat at altitudes of 23 and 10 km. Possibilities of using a priori data on temperature, pressure, and reflected and scattered signals are considered. The errors of retrieval of the columnar CO2 are 0.15% and 0.5% at altitudes lower than 2 km for lidar with a telescope diameter of 1 m and laser pulse energy of 50 μJ at a resolution of 60 km.
