At present optical systems for remote sensing can not define microstructure of the scattering medium because of the ill posed inversion problem. The proposed method is based on retrieval of the equivalent scattering layer. This layer has a lidar ratio equal to that one of a real layer and consists of monodisperse particles. The ill-posed inversion problem is not required to retrieve the equivalent scattering layer. Using the proposed method we can compare concentration of particles at different distances from the particle source. The proposed method can be applied to polydisperse particles.
Keywords: lidar, scattering medium, remote sensing, halo, monodisperse particles, polydisperse particles, ill-posed inversion problem
