Department of Physics & Astronomy Presents:
Merging Complementary Techniques in Laboratory Spectroscopy for Remote Sensing Applications
Dr. 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.
