This paper discusses methods of interpreting the backscattering signals received from a weakly scattering atmosphere. It is established that the interpretation of these signals can be made more accurate by using an efficient averaging procedure on a section of the probe path and a linear approximation of the transmittance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
