Abstract :
A mobile Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) system capable of measuring carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and aerosols has been developed. The mobile DIAL laboratory has been operated in day and night conditions at various industrial sites, including a coal fired power plant with both conventional and supercritical steam turbines. A system overview of the DIAL instrument and some representative results will be presented.
