Abstract:

Methods for interpretation of polarization lidar measurements are considered. Prominence is given to selection of an optimal algorithm for calibration of solution, in particular, against a significant multiple scattering background. Two methods for retrieving the profile of the aerosol depolarization ratio from polarization components of a lidar signal are described. The peculiarities of the methods in interpretation of signal profiles obtained from ground-based sensing are analyzed.
