Determination of slope in lidar data using a duplicate of the inverted function

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An iterative method for determining slope in noisy lidar data is considered based on the use of a corrected (“shaped”) inverted function and an assumed behavior of the unknown function of interest (an “image function”). The method is utilized for extracting extinction- coefficient profiles from data of multiangle measurements. The sequence and specifics of the retrieval procedure, results of simulations, and essentials of the practical retrieval of particulate extinction-coefficient profiles from signals of the elastic scanning lidar are considered. The methodology may be applicable when extracting the extinction-coefficient profiles from an elastic lidar operating in a multiangle scanning mode, a combined Raman elastic-backscatter lidar, or a high spectral resolution lidar operating in a fixed angular position.
