description This paper aims to study the measurement accuracy of Rayleigh scattering lidar (light detection and ranging) based on a ship platform and analyze the influence of the laser beam uncertainty on the temperature inversion results. Taking the ship platform roll data as a reference, the Rayleigh scattering lidar oscillating model is simplified to a sine function, and the inversion accuracy of atmospheric temperature is analyzed under different settled observation angles and different roll angles. When the settled observation angle is 0° and the roll angle amplitudes are 10°, 20°, and 30°, the maximum deviations of the temperature within the height range of 30–80 km are 3.47 K, 13.73 K, and 22.78 K, respectively, and the average deviations are 2.35 K, 9.09 K, and 12.95 K, respectively. When the observation angle is set to 30° and the roll angle amplitudes are 10°, 20°, and 30°, the maximum deviations of the temperature within the height range of 30–80 km are 11.75 K, 27.49 K, and 53.50 K, respectively, and the average deviations are 11.05 K, 13.88 K, and 16.12 K, respectively. The results of this paper show that ship platform rolling greatly influences the measurement of atmospheric temperature, which provides a certain data reference for the construction and use of Rayleigh scattering lidar in the ship platform.
