Description

The Alberta Differential Absorption Light Detection and Ranging (DiAL) system is a mobile unit capable of detecting particulate matters, CO2, and CH4 from remote locations through infrared laser beams without the need for any light reflecting surfaces. The Alberta DiAL was deployed in Fort McMurray from August 2 to August 22, 2014 for focused air quality studies in the oil sands region. This was the first among a number of potential DiAL field campaigns in the region under the Joint Canada-Alberta Implementation Plan for Oil Sands Monitoring.
