Abstract

Results of the numerical modeling of lidar sounding of meteorological parameters of the atmosphere by the differential absorption method in the spectral region of 2 μm are reported. A choice of the steam absorption lines suitable for sounding temperature and moisture content profiles in the lower troposphere is made. Systematic errors in reconstruction of temperature profiles are analyzed. It is shown that the errors in reconstruction of temperature and moisture content profiles have acceptable values within the entire range of heights 0–2 km.
