Self-consistent Method for Determining Vertical Profiles of Aerosol and Atmospheric Properties Using a High Spectral Resolution Rayleigh-Mie Lidar

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1993:;volume( 010 ):;issue: 004:;page 533

Author(s): Krueger, D. A.; Caldwell, L. M.; She, C. Y.; Alvarez, R. J.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A self-consistent method of inverting high spectral resolution, Rayleigh-Mie lidar signals to obtain profiles of atmospheric state variables, as well as aerosol properties, is presented. Assumed are a known air pressure ...
