Abstract
The issues of improving the accuracy of lidar measurements of the concentration of hydrogen molecules in the atmosphere are considered. A computer simulation of the lidar equation was carried out for differential absorption and scattering by hydrogen molecules during vertical remote sensing of the atmosphere to a height of up to 1500 m taking into account the ratio of the halfwidths of the lasing lines and the lidar apparatus function. It is shown by the computer simulation results that the relative error value sharply falls in the ranging distance up to 50 m. The relative error values remain almost unchanged and not exceeds 0.02 at the distance after 800 m. These results will be applied to develop new differential absorption and scattering lidars for the remote sensing of the hydrogen molecules in the atmosphere.
