Department of Physics and Astronomy Presents Merging Complementary Techniques in Laboratory Spectroscopy for Remote Sensing Applications with Adriana Predoi-Cross
University of Lethbridge
Thursday February 4th, 2016
1:40 pm, Room C620, U Hall
Abstract:
One of the challenges of spectroscopic remote sensing is the extrapolation of data from the laboratory to atmospheric applications. Besides considerations related to the number of parameters involved, the situations which we meet in the laboratory are considerably different from those in the atmosphere, since in the former case most extrinsic quantities (e.g. concentration, pressure, temperature) are constant over the experimental volume, whereas in the latter case they are almost always spatially variable.
This talk will give an overview of laser-based or synchrotron-based high-resolution spectroscopic studies performed by our research group will be presented. Another area of research in our group is focused on metrological applications, more precisely on accurate measurements of fundamental constants. The results of our recent retrievals of the fundamental Boltzmann constant based on a laser-based study will be also presented.
