Estimation of the extinction coefficient of clouds from multiwavelength lidar backscatter measurements

Lidar remote sensing of clouds provides direct measurement of the radar backscatter coefficient but not the extinction coefficient, which is needed for any calculations involving optical depth. The relationship between these quantities for single spheres is very complicated but becomes simpler for p...
