  • Summary

    In Chapter 5, having introduced the physics behind light scattering, we present the lidar equation. This sets the stage for consideration and simulation of various types of lidar. These include the following broadband lidars: Rayleigh–Mie, polarization, vibrational Raman and fluorescence, and differential absorption. They also include high–spectral resolution (narrowband) lidars: Lidar ratio and aerosol properties, temperature profiling by integration Rayleigh+Raman, temperature profiling with rotational Raman and Cabannes scattering, Rayleigh–Mie wind profiling, and mesopause–region resonance fluorescence wind+temperature profiling.
