  3. Chapter 7Active Techniques • LIDAR for Atmospheric Remote Sensing • (LIDAR = Light Detection and Ranging) • Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) • Sea Ice Remote Sensing B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  4. LIDAR-Types and Target Quantities • Applications: • altimeter • Rayleigh Lidar: temperature • DIAL (Differential Absorption)-Lidar: trace gases • multi wavelength aerosol Lidar: aerosol amount and aerosol properties (size distribution, type) • Raman-Lidar: trace gases • Doppler-Lidar: particle velocities • Fluorescence-Lidar: temperature in the upper atmosphere B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  5. LIDAR: Instrument • Laser: • short pulses (small dead range above instrument) • high pulse power (high backscattered signal) • typical lasers: • solid state laser (e.g. Nd-YAG) • gas laser (e.g. XeCl) • dye lasers • Detector: • excellent quantum efficiency needed (low signal) • low noise needed (low signal) • typical detectors • Photomultiplier • Photodiodes • CCDs • wavelength selective (use of filters) B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  6. LIDAR: Example G. Beyerle, PhD thesis, 1994 B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  7. LIDAR: Measurement Example • two wavelengths (353 nm and 532 nm • minimum altitude: 11 km • maximum altitude: 45 km • background signals of calibration • exponential scale • signature of volcanic aerosol • signature of PSCs B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  8. Lidar equation • The detected intensity Id(z,λ) is proportinal to • Emitted intensity • Backscatter coefficient • Observed solid angle (with A area of telescope) • Transmission along the light path • Sensitivity of the detector in this channel (including geometric overlap): B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  9. Lidar equation Taking these factors together will give the so calledLidar-Equation: with B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  10. DIAL LIDAR • Idea: • two wavelengths are emitted, one at an absorption line, the other one off the absorption but close enough to have small changes in scattering properties and absorption by other absorbers • Application: • ozone profiles • H2O profiles http://www.etl.noaa.gov/et2/ B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  11. Forming the ratio between the received signals Ion and Ioff: ... And then the logarithm:: DIAL Lidar equation Start from the Lidar-equation for two wavelength on/off: B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  12. If the two wavelength are nearby, scattering properties will be similar, and we finally get: DIAL Lidar equation Differentiating wrt altitude z gives: B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  13. DIAL LIDAR: Examples Tropospheric O3 Stratospheric O3 B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  14. Aerosol LIDAR • Idea: • Backscattering at different wavelengths is used to derive information on aerosol properties • for each wavelength, the backscattering coefficient βMie(z, λ) is computed from the Lidar equation using the Klett-algorithm: • profiles of temperature and pressure as Input • use of reference height with known backscatter coefficient (Rayleigh only) • Mie scattering ratio determined from model: LMie(z, λ)= αMie(z, λ)/ βMie(z, λ) • Measurement quantity is the backscattering ratio R.

  23. Frequency Bands Used for Spaceborne Radars B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  24. Imaging Radar Because Radars opperate at relatively long wavelengths,they are not (or only very little) affected by scattering in theatmosphere, thus they can „see“ through clouds.The reflected signal depends (among other factors) onthe surface roughness, which provides important additionalinformation not directly available from other observations. B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  25. Horizontal resolution in range direction The Radar is an active remote sensing system. Short pulsesof EM radiation are sent out and the reflected signal is detected. The travel time τ of the signal is given by: where x is the distance travelled and c is the speed of light. The horizontal resolution (in range direction) is then given bythe length of the pulse Δτ : B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  26. Opening angle β h ΔXa S ΔXr Real Aperture Radar Viewing angle θ Azimuth direction Range direction B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  27. Antenna beamwidth The opening angle β (beamwidth) of an antenna with aperture D at a wavelength of λ is given by: The azimuth resolution for a real aperture radar is then B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  28. Azimuth resolution for real aperture radar Example: h=800km, λ=23cm, D=1m then ΔXa=260km This is a coarse resolution! B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  29. Synthetic aperture radar flight direction L Ground object L = ΔXa The ground object is seen here by a number ofsuccessive observations. B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  30. Synthetic aperture radar Successive images can be combined to create an effective(synthetic) apperture of size L: This synthetic apperture has an effective opening angle of: Which results in an effective resolution ΔXa,SAR of the syntheticapperture radar of: B.-M. Sinnhuber, Remote Sensing I, University of Bremen, Summer 2007

  31. Synthetic aperture radar The effective resolution of a synthetic apperture radar, • means: • The achivable resolution is in the order of meters (good!) • It will become even better for smaller antenna sizes • Resolution is independent of wavelength, orbit height etc. B.-M.
