Abstract:The use of LIDARs to characterize atmospheric properties has become commonplace since near the invention of the laser. The accuracy of these measurements is generally limited by the signal-to-noise ratio of the optical channels making the measurementtypically constrained by several environmental and systematic parameters, such as solar background, power-aperture product, etc. These measurements are usually modeled according to various forms of the atmospheric LIDAR equation along with a solar background model.… Show more
