6. Lidar measurements

In order to restore the distributions and concentrations of atmospheric molecules and particles, lidar methodology relies on their spectroscopic properties. This paragraph summarizes the lidar methods presented in the article [E 4 311] .

6.1 Overview of lidar methods

Lidar methods primarily use light-matter interaction processes:

• Elastic scattering: the most intense scattering process is elastic scattering, with no change in wavelength,...
