Abstract:
A possibility of conducting a complex optical experiment using an orbiting lidar and radiometer is discussed in the paper. The lidar and photometric measurements were assumed to be interrelated based on model representations of vertical stratification of stratus clouds.
A closed numerical experiment was conducted which simulated a random cloud field against the underlying surface with different albedo. The results illustrate the efficiency of the combined measurements.
