Abstract

Interpretation of lidar data most often carried out using the lidar equation, but it limited small optical depth. However the multiple scattering in the clouds and dense haze significant impact on value and the polarization state of lidar return. Results of the calculation of polarization characteristics of double scattering lidar return from marine and continental clouds with different liquid water content using circularly and linearly polarized sensing radiation and multiple field of view lidar are discussed in this paper.
