Claim Text:
1. An atmospheric constituent molecule detection measuring and comparison system comprising: a radiation generating element projecting radiation through at least a portion of the Earth's atmosphere; a radiation gathering device configured to gather radiation from the radiation generating element after the radiation has passed through a defined at a least a portion of the Earths atmosphere; a radiation sensing device configured to detect and receive radiation gathered by the radiation gathering device and generate spectrum data readings based on extract vertical density distribution for one or more constituents molecules within atmosphere column through which the radiation passed, said generated data corresponds to the amount of said radiation that was absorbed by the constituent molecules; computing means including custom software with at least one known spectral line atlas table relating to one or more constituent molecules for comparison therewith, said computing means further comprising a computer for receiving the generated data readings from said radiation sensing device comparing said generated data readings with the known spectral line atlas table to determine an elevation and molecular density profile for the one or more constituent molecules within at least a portion of the Earth's atmosphere.
