Assessment of lidar depolarization uncertainty by means of a polarimetric lidar simulator

Lidar depolarization measurements distinguish between spherical and non-spherical aerosol particles based on the change of the polarization state between the emitted and received signal. The particle shape information in combination with other aerosol optical properties allows the characterization o...
