Abstract:

We discuss here integral methods of k-position lidar determination of atmospheric optical parameters. Reliability of the results obtained using these methods is estimated. Thus obtained optical information is used in the reconstruction of microphysical parameters of aerosol with the account for radially varying refraction index of aerosol particles. The schemes of the multiposition lidar sounding of the atmosphere along the paths, making up a closed polygon in the intersection, are shown to be applicable to determination of parameters of realistic inhomogeneous aerosol formations. The optical model of aerosol proposed allowed us to explain the experimental results and difficulties in the interpretation of the findings on the particles spectral composition.
