The backscattering coefficient (β), lidar ratio (S), and depolarization ratio (δ) of ice particles
were estimated over a wide range of effective radii to interpret spaceborne 355-nm high …

Simultaneous measurement of lidar and radar signals returned from the same cirrus clouds
is a prospective method for retrieving the cloud microphysics, ie size and shape of the ice …

The study of the optical properties of cirrus clouds is necessary to improve the accuracy of
interpreting data from space lidars and ground-based lidar networks. Existing databases of …

Backscattering Mueller matrix and the depolarization and color ratios for quasi-horizontally
oriented hexagonal ice plates have been calculated within the framework of the physical …

The depolarization ratio and backscattering cross sections have been calculated for shapes
and size of ice crystals that are typical in cirrus clouds. The calculations are performed in the …

Dust aerosols can participate in the heterogeneous nucleation process as effective ice
nucleation particles, thus changing the physical properties of clouds. In this paper, we used …

This paper presents the light-scattering matrices of atmospheric-aggregated hexagonal ice
particles that appear in cirrus clouds. The aggregates consist of the same particles with …

We analyze cirrus cloud measurements from two dual-instrument cloud spectrometers, two
hygrometers and a backscattersonde with the goal of connecting cirrus optical parameters …

An algorithm for interpreting light backscattering matrices (LBSMs) obtained experimentally
on the unique high-altitude polarization lidar of the National Research Tomsk State …
