Analysis of Particle Shape, Depolarization and Lidar Ratio in Arctic Cirrus Clouds: A Case Study
Lidar measurements and balloon-borne in-situ measurements were performed concurrently in Kiruna, (Sweden) in order to study the influence of particle properties on lidar measurements. By comparing the extinction coefficient profiles determined with both methods, we find smaller depolarisation ratios...

Summary: | Lidar measurements and balloon-borne in-situ measurements were performed concurrently in Kiruna, (Sweden) in order to study the influence of particle properties on lidar measurements. By comparing the extinction coefficient profiles determined with both methods, we find smaller depolarisation ratios and lidar ratios when small and compact particles dominate compared to situations with larger particlesand non-compact shapes. |
