Abstract:

The equation of laser sensing is formulated taking into account multiple scattering (N > 2) and polarization effects. A method of calculation of lidar returns from an inhomogeneous cloud is proposed, the accuracy of which is tested by comparison with calculations by the Monte Carlo method. Peculiarities of the lidar signal structure at the boundary between the cloud and the clear atmosphere are considered.
