We delimit a regime, valid for most ground-based lidar probings of cirrus clouds, in which the
field-of-view dependence of multiple scattering reaches a plateau. In this regime and …

We present an approach to estimating the multiple-scattering (MS) contribution to lidar return
signals from clouds recorded from space that enables us to describe in more detail the …

A Monte Carlo-based evaluation of the multiple-scattering influence on ground-based
Raman lidar measurements is presented. The lidar returns from cirrus clouds are analyzed …

A multiple-scattering lidar equation is derived from a phenomenological representation of
the scattering processes. The contributions are separated into the unscattered, singly …

A new effective inversion method for lidar return signals is presented. For the derivation of
this inversion formula the multiple scattering term is approximated by the sum of the single …

Experimental evidence of multiple-scattering effects on lidar returns from clouds, as well as
the calculated significance of second and higher orders of scattering, as can be found in the …

An iterative method to determine an average backscatter-to-extinction ratio and extinction
coefficient simultaneously in cirrus clouds is proposed. The method is based on Klett's …

The terminology of light scattering pertinent to a simple form of the lidar equation and the
approximate analytical solution of the lidar equation are reviewed without specific restriction …

A practical model for determining the time-dependent lidar attenuated backscattering
coefficient β was developed for application to global lidar data. An analytical expression for …

The results of lidar measurements on laboratory-scaled cloud models are presented. The
lidar system was based on a picosecond laser source and a streak camera. The cloud was …
