Inversion of water clouds lidar returns using the azimuthal dependence of the cross-polarization signal / Xiaoying Cao, Gilles Roy, Gregoire Tremblay.: D68-10/058-2018E-PDF
"The contrast in the azimuthal pattern of cross polarized lidar data is used directly to retrieve the extinction coefficient profile of water droplet clouds. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we demonstrate that there is a simple mathematical relationship between the optical depth and the contrast of the cross polarization azimuthal pattern. This relation is independent of the water cloud droplets size, cloud position and extinction profile. Derivation of the extinction profile of a water droplets cloudis obtained directly using the simple mathematical relationship without performing lidar equation inversion. The technique is limited to spherical particles"--Abstract.
