The depolarization - attenuated backscatter relation: CALIPSO lidar measurements vs. theory.

Using measurements obtained by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite, relationships between layer-integrated depolarization ratio (delta) and layer-integrated attenuated backscatter (gamma) are established for moderately thick clouds of both ice and water. A new and simple form of the delta-gamma relation for spherical particles, developed fr...

The depolarization-attenuated backscatter relationship for dust plumes.

This study identified the relationship between the layer-integrated attenuated backscatter coefficient and layer-integrated depolarization ratio of dust plumes and compared it with that of cloud, using CALIPSO LIDAR measurements. The histogram distribution of the integrated color ratio for dust and cloud was also examined. On the basis of the layer-integrated attenuated backscatter coefficient ...

Reexamination of depolarization in lidar measurements.

Almost all of the depolarization papers in the lidar literature employ a physically inappropriate notation and they use a definition of the depolarization ratio that is not linear in the quantity of interest. This depolarization lidar legacy is misleading and confusing. In particular, subscripts meaning parallel and perpendicular do not apply to atmospheric parameters, such as the volume backsc...

Lidar measurements of aerosol depolarization ratio

Lidar measurements of the aerosol depolarization ratio provide highly reliable informations to discriminate between spherical and non-spherical particles in the atmosphere and they can help to distinguish between liquid and solid phase aerosols. These measurements can be performed by using a linearly polarized laser source and a hardware configuration of the receiving system including two chann...

Selection 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...
