Aerosol extinction-to-backscatter ratio derived from passive satellite measurements
Spaceborne reflectance measurements from the POLDER instrument are used to study the specific directional signature close to the backscatter direction. The data analysis makes it possible to derive the extinction-tobackscatter ratio (EBR), which is related to the inverse of the scattering phase function for an angle of 180 and is needed for a quantitative interpretation of lidar observations (a...

متن کاملRetrieval of aerosol backscatter, extinction, and lidar ratio from Raman lidar with optimal estimation
Optimal estimation retrieval is a form of nonlinear regression which determines the most probable circumstances that produced a given observation, weighted against any prior knowledge of the system. This paper applies the technique to the estimation of aerosol backscatter and extinction (or lidar ratio) from two-channel Raman lidar observations. It produces results from simulated and real data ...
متن کاملSelection algorithm for the CALIPSO lidar aerosol extinction-to- backscatter ratio
The extinction-to-backscatter ratio (Sa) is an important parameter used in the determination of the aerosol extinction and subsequently the optical depth from lidar backscatter measurements. We outline the algorithm used to determine Sa for the Cloud and Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Spaceborne Observations (CALIPSO) lidar. Sa for the CALIPSO lidar will either be selected from a look-up...
متن کاملRetrieval of aerosol backscatter and extinction from airborne coherent Doppler wind lidar measurements
A novel method for calibration and quantitative aerosol optical property retrieval from Doppler wind lidars (DWLs) is presented in this work. Due to the strong wavelength dependence of the atmospheric molecular backscatter and the low sensitivity of the coherent DWLs to spectrally broad signals, calibration methods for aerosol lidars cannot be applied to coherent DWLs usually operating at wavel...
