Echo-Signal De-Noising of CO<sub>2</sub>-DIAL Based on the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition

The carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) differential absorption lidar echo signal is susceptible to noise and must satisfy the high demand for signal-retrieval precision. Thus, a proper de-noising method should be selected to improve the inversion result. In this paper, we simultaneously dec...

description The carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) differential absorption lidar echo signal is susceptible to noise and must satisfy the high demand for signal-retrieval precision. Thus, a proper de-noising method should be selected to improve the inversion result. In this paper, we simultaneously decompose three signal pairs into different intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using the method of ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). Further, the correlation coefficients of the IMFs with the same temporal scale are regarded as the criterion to determine the components that need removal. This method not only retains the useful information effectively but also removes the noise component. A significant improvement in the R<sup>2</sup> of the differential absorption optical depth (DAOD) of the de-noised signals is obtained. The results of the simulated and observed analysis signal demonstrated improvement both in the SNR and in the retrieval precision.
