Importance of these methods caused by their wide applications was stimulating long time investigations of their applicability ranges. We report recent results of the analysis of EBCM-like methods. It is confirmed that the methods give a convergent solution (i.e. are mathematically correct) everywhere under the known conditions of validity of the Rayleigh hypothesis. Convergence of these methods used to calculate only the far-field characteristics of the scattered field (cross-sections, scattering matrix, etc.) occurs under a weaker condition. These general conditions are applied to the particular cases of spheroidal and Chebyshev particles as well as particles with sharp edges, and numerical results confirming the conclusions of our theoretical analysis are presented.","PeriodicalId":359097,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Lidar Multiple Scattering Experiments","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131137764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In accordance with previously published results, we observe a clear azimuthal pattern in the recorded images. We show that the pattern originates from second order scattering, and that higher-order scattering causes blurring that increases with optical depth. We also find that the contrast of the symmetrical features can be related to the measure of the optical depth. Moreover, by identifying and subtracting the blurring contributions, the resulting pattern provides a \"pure\" second-order scattering measurement that can be used for the retrieval of droplet size. We apply this technique on a stratus cloud located at 1400 m. The extinction values retrieved on the basis of the laboratory quantification of the blurring of the multiple scattering secondary polarization patterns measured from the ICCD images are then compared with the profile of the extinction coefficient obtained using Bissonnette's algorithm, which is based on the multiple-field-of-view (MFOV) lidar returns.","PeriodicalId":359097,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Lidar Multiple Scattering Experiments","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123473422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The relationship between these modes and the elements of the amplitude scattering matrix for the type of particle is shown by means of a simple formalism, tested with reference to simple shapes and orientation of the particles.

Such patterns were visualized by other investigators in the plane perpendicular to the receiver optical axis in experiments performed on the base of mono-static polarized lidar systems. Previously obtained approximate equations of the vector theory along with generalized approximations earlier developed in the scalar theory form the basis for our theory. Solution expressed through multidimensional integrals which determine return polarization parameters is presented and explained. It accounts for formation of a signal as a process consisting of single scattering events into the backward region and propagation and small-angle scattering into near-forward directions before and after the back-scattering events. The developed solution gives the return angular pattern for any initial and received states of polarization and includes the multiple scattering. Half-analytical fast techniques that have been developed on the base of the obtained solution are used to simulate the near-backscattering patterns. Computed examples of the patterns for the case of scattering in seawaters are shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":359097,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Lidar Multiple Scattering Experiments","volume":"54 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113933571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
