Abstract:

In this paper, we present an overview of the capabilities of linear and non-linear spectroscopy for the 3D-analysis of gaseous pollutants and aerosols in the atmosphere. The basic technique is Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging). Results obtained in Sevilla and Lyon about the ozone smog formation and the dynamics of the transport of dust particles are presented. Finally, non-linear Mie scattering on atmospheric aerosols has been demonstrated in the laboratory, opening new perspectives for remote sensing.
