Abstract:

A method is proposed to improve the accuracy of lidar–retrieved attenuation coefficients of stratified inhomogeneous media by correcting backscattered signals for variation of the lidar ratio. An algorithm for determining the correction coefficients is described. It is shown that the absolute value of the correction coefficient characterizes qualitative variability of the composition of such media. The efficiency of the method is estimated, and the results of numerical simulation are presented.
