LOWTRAN7 Simulation of a Multi-wavelength Lidar Applied to the Atmospheric Correction of Satellite Data

摘要

We calculate the signal-to-noise ratio expected for lidar systems. The LOWTRAN7 code is employed to reproduce typical atmospheric conditions including background radiation and aerosol distribution. The validation of the simulation is undertaken using a portable lidar system operated at 532 nm. We apply realistic conditions of the simulation to satellite remote sensing data to study the extent to which the data are affected by such atmospheric corrections.
