Abstract

Preliminary results of investigation of the possibility of developing the method of air express analysis for detecting the isotope composition of atmospheric water vapors with the use of subterahertz and terahertz nonstationary spectroscopy methods are presented. Particular attention is paid to the real time detection of the background and minimally detectable concentrations of heavy water vapors in the atmosphere.
