Light Backscattering by Ice Crystals of Cirrus Clouds Within the Physical Optics Approximation
Lidar technologies are widely used for retrieving microphysics of cirrus clouds, i.e. sizes, shapes and spatial orientation of ice crystals constituting the clouds. Interpretation of the lidar signals are based on the backscattered light. However, properties of the light backscattered by the ice cry...
