Abstract:

The power received by a lidar in sounding the sea surface, partially covered with foam, with a narrow laser beam though the atmosphere is studied. An analytical expression is derived for the average power recorded by the receiver through a transparent aerosol atmosphere and an optically dense aerosol atmosphere.It is shown the roughness of the sea surface and the existence of the foam substantially affect the echo signal power.
