Abstract
A compact and removable eye-safe laser radar system for atmospheric environmental monitoring has been developed. The height of the mixed layer equaled to the height where the scattering intensity by the laser radar drastically decreased. The measurement with the radiosonde showed that that mixed layer corresponded to the height where the potential temperature changed. A value of the atmospheric extinction coefficient, α, at 2.1 pm was calculated to be 0.05 km-1 with the humidity of 50 % and depended on the relative humidity. In addition, this paper also reports observation of smoke plume from a smokestack.
