Abstract

The current state of the problem of light scattering by ice crystal particles of cirrus clouds is presented for the problem of interpreting the lidar signal. A short overview of existing methods and approaches to the solution of the problem of light scattering by nonspherical particles is presented. The results obtained within the framework of the physical optics approximation agree well with the results of experimental observations and can be used to interpret lidar data. The solution of the light scattering problem is available as a data bank of the Mueller matrices.
