Abstract:

The characteristics of aerosol attenuation and scattering in the spectral region of 1.064 μm, which determine the efficiency of laser systems on high-altitude paths, are considered. For numerical estimates of aerosol attenuation and backscattering coefficients, currently available experimental results of satellite remote probing experiments are used. Experimental data on aerosol attenuation and scattering coefficients are compared with the results of previously performed theoretical calculations. The atmospheric factors of the lidar equation are calculated, which describe the dependence of the back-reflected laser energy on path geometry and atmospheric conditions. For a specific laser locator geometry, an estimate of the parameters of the backscattering signal on high-altitude paths is given.
