This paper provides a model for assessing the effects of polarising optics on the signals of
typical lidar systems, which is based on the description of the individual optical elements of …

Cloud and atmospheric properties strongly influence the mass and energy budgets of the
Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS). To address critical gaps in the understanding of these systems, a …

Oriented particles can exhibit different polarization properties than randomly oriented
particles. These properties cannot be resolved by conventional polarization lidar systems …

We describe implementation and demonstration of a polarization technique adapted for lidar
to measure all unique elements of the volume backscatter phase matrix. This capability …

A polarization Scheimpflug lidar system based on the Scheimpflug principle has been
developed by employing two linearly polarized 808 nm laser diodes and a complementary …

Lidar depolarization measurements distinguish between spherical and non-spherical
aerosol particles based on the change of the polarization state between the emitted and …

Traditional lidar techniques mainly rely on the backscattering/echo light intensity and
spectrum as information sources. In contrast, polarization lidar (P-lidar) expands the …

Cloud representation is one of the largest uncertainties in the current weather and climate
models. In this article, the observations and modeling of the radiative effect on (cloud) …

Polarization lidar plays a significant role in characterizing the properties of cirrus clouds,
classifying aerosol types, retrieving aerosol microphysical properties, etc. However, the …

The application of time-correlated single photon counting hardware and techniques to
atmospheric lidar is presented. The results establish the viability of adapting photon time …
