Practical analytical backscatter error bars for elastic one-component lidar inversion algorithm.
We present an analytical formulation to compute the total-backscatter range-dependent error bars from the well-known Klett's elastic-lidar inversion algorithm. A combined error-propagation and statistical formulation approach is used to assess inversion errors in response to the following error sources: observation noise (i.e., signal-to-noise ratio) in the reception channel, the user's uncerta...
متن کاملQuasi-analytical determination of noise-induced error limits in lidar retrieval of aerosol backscatter coefficient by the elastic, two-component algorithm.
The elastic, two-component algorithm is the most common inversion method for retrieving the aerosol backscatter coefficient from ground- or space-based backscatter lidar systems. A quasi-analytical formulation of the statistical error associated to the aerosol backscatter coefficient caused by the use of real, noise-corrupted lidar signals in the two-component algorithm is presented. The error ...
متن کاملError analysis for the lidar backward inversion algorithm.
Here we depart from the inhomogeneous solution of a lidar equation using the backward inversion algorithm that is nowadays generally referred to as the Klett method. In particular, we develop an error sensitivity study that relates errors in the user-input parameters boundary extinction and exponential term in the extinction-to-backscatter relationship to errors in the inverted extinction profi...
متن کاملCombined Raman-elastic backscatter lidar method for the measurement of backscatter ratios.
A variation of the conventional combined Raman-elastic backscatter lidar method, the 1-2-3 lidar method, is described and analyzed. This method adds a second transmitter wavelength to the conventional combined Raman-elastic backscatter lidar. This transmitter wavelength is identical to that of the Raman receiver. One can generate the transmitted beam at this wavelength by Raman shifting the las...
متن کاملSensitivity of a lidar inversion algorithm to parameters relating atmospheric backscatter and extinction.
A solution of the single-scattering lidar equation requires a relationship between the coefficients of backscatter beta(r) and extinction sigma(r) to be of the form beta(r) = C2sigma(r)k, where C2 and k are parameters independent of range r. The sensitivity of a particular lidar inversion algorithm to uncertainties in C2 and k is investigated using a measured lidar return which indicated the at...
