Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We show that the coordinates, the radius of a gas bubble (plume), and the average concentration of a contaminating gas can be determined by measuring the attenuation of the sounding-radiation power in the controlled environment at the frequencies of the rotational spectrum of gas molecules and that the atmospheric contamination composition can be analyzed by varying the probing radiation frequency in the appropriate band. The possibility of retrieval of the distribution function of contaminating gas concentration from the analysis of a radar image of the underlying surface is demonstrated.
