Abstract

Experimental results obtained during the implementation of a Contract, financed by Sofia Municipality for Aerosol Lidar Mapping of urban and industrial Sofia-capital areas are presented. The basic goals were to get experimental estimates of different basic parameters of a perspective lidar monitoring system for the remote scanning from a single position over the entire Sofia area. We obtained lidar maps of good quality for radial operational distances above 25 km from the Lidar Station, covering the entire urban and the surroundings, including Vitosha and Stara Planina mountain regions. Considering lidar maps as high resolution aerosol sensor networks we analyzed a novel high resolution air monitoring system based on three sensor networks: lidar aerosol network and city sensor and meteo networks.
