PREFERRED TERM
atmosphere light backscatter linear depolarization ratio
DEFINITION
- The atmosphere backscatter linear depolarization ratio (often called volume depolarization ratio) ratio is defined as the ratio of the cross-polarized lidar return signal to the parallel-polarized backscatter signal, due to both particle and molecular parts present in the atmospheric investigated volume. It is a calibrated measurement.
