PREFERRED TERM
aerosol particle light extinction to backscatter ratio
DEFINITION
- The aerosol particle extinction to backscatter ratio (more known as lidar ratio) is the ratio of the aerosol particle extinction coefficient and the aerosol particle backscatter coefficient of radiative flux by ranging instrument in air due to ambient aerosol particles. The ratio is related to the same wavelength of incident radiation.
