Multiwavelength Lidar Study of Fog.
Abstract : A study has been conducted to define quantitatively the range and accuracy of multispectral lidar techniques for remotely sensing the visibility and liquid water content of various types of fogs. The results indicate that the penetration of the lidar pulse into the fog is limited to a few hundred meters due to the severe attenuation of the pulse by the fog. Methods to obtain extinction, backscatter and total liquid water content are also discussed. (Author)
