<title>Lidar return analysis using incoherent spatial filtering</title>

Abstract

Results of application of incoherent spatial filtering for structure analysis of lidar returns from clouds are presented. The revolver disk with a set of the spatial filter windows provides multiple-field-of-view of the receiver system. There is an agreement between data recorded and model estimates considering the power contribution of doubly scattered component due to diffraction of the sounding radiation in a droplet cloud.
