Use of polarimetric lidar for the study of oriented ice plates in clouds

Use of polarimetric lidar for the study of oriented ice plates in clouds

A polarization lidar operating at 532 nm was converted into an automatic, polarimetric lidar capable of measuring the entire Stokes vector of backscattered light and its derived quantities. Among these quantities, circular and linear depolarizations were studied as tools for investigating the presen...
