Abstract:

The echo–signal power in pulsed laser sounding of the surface with complicated scattering phase function through the atmosphere is studied. The expression is derived for the echo–signal power when the surface with scattering phase function comprising diffuse and quasispecular components is sounded through the optically dense aerosol atmosphere. It is shown that the echo–signal shape can depend strongly on the relative contributions of diffusive and quasispecular components.
