Abstract

By using the Monte Carlo method, we study the dependence of the lidar temporal echo signals on the thickness of the cloud layers. We propose a new technique to reconstruct the optical depth of atmospheric clouds based on the returns of monostatic ground-based and spaceborne lidars with different values of the receiver field of view and laser pulse length.
