Abstract: Backscatter and depolarization lidar measurements from clouds and precipitation are reported as functions of the elevation angle of the pointing lidar direction. The data were recorded by scanning the lidar beam (Nd:YAG) ...

Abstract: Lidar remote sensing measurements of low-level water clouds in the form of vertical soundings and instantaneous (?1 min) azimuth-over-elevation scans are reported. Retrievals are made of the liquid water content and effective ...
