Abstract
An analysis is made of a method of determining the parameters and coordinates of atmospheric gas clouds radar systems which can measure the attenuation of electromagnetic radiation power at a resonant absorption frequency. A possible technical application of these systems is indicated. This approach to the problem of controlling and monitoring the state of the atmosphere can describe the propagation dynamics of contamination in real time, which is extremely important for ensuring safety in regions liable to chemical contamination. After suitable development, the proposed method may provide the basis for remote monitoring by radar techniques and in principle, may also be used to study various types of nonreflecting objects possessing the property of resonant absorption.
