It is interesting to note that the radar principle, which was first widely exploited at radio
frequencies for the detection of targets such as aircraft or ships, and was only later applied to …

A number of atmospheric phenomena affect the propagation of light. This article reviews the
effects of clear-air turbulence as well as atmospheric turbidity on optical communications …

We present a methodology for objective and automated determination of the uncertainty in
aerosol measurements made by lidar. The methodology is based on standard error …

Inversion techniques for the retrieval of stratospheric aerosol, ozone, neutral density, and
nitrogen dioxide vertical profiles from numerically simulated spacecraft solar extinction …

Abstract In August 2018, the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite
Observation (CALIPSO) project released a new level 3 stratospheric aerosol profile data …

We present a model of stratospheric aerosol optical properties (refractive index and relative
size distribution) and their variability. The model's purposes are 1) providing flexible, efficient …

Linear relationships between aerosol extinction, absorption, backscatter, and mass content
are derived for polydispersions of sulfuric acid aerosols. These relationships are …

Thirty‐six balloon flights, carrying various particle counters, are used to study the
stratospheric aerosol layer during the year following the Mt. St. Helens volcanic eruption …

A stratospheric aerosol optical model is developed which is based on a size distribution
conforming to direct measurements. Additional constraints are consistent with large data …

Thirty night‐time observations of the stratospheric aerosol were made between October
1972 and March 1974, using a ground‐based ruby lidar (laser radar) at Menlo Park …
