Abstract
An algorithm is developed and, on its basis, a software product is created to control the photon counter and to save the data from recording system of the lidar’s receiving channel at wavelengths of 299/341 nm in atmospheric sensing with a spatial resolution from 1.5 to 150 m. The main software options are: device connection check; receiving lidar sensing data; data digitization; graphical displaying; data filing; conversion of .dat into .txt file format. The software product is experimentally tested along with the mobile ozone lidar receiver unit, incorporated into the software part of the measurement complex of the Siberian Lidar Station. The receiver unit of the mobile ozone lidar comprises a photon counter PHCOUNT_4Е and Hamamatsu photoelectronic multipliers H12386-210. We present the atmospheric lidar sensing data and an ozone concentration profile retrieved in 2022.
