Description
The measurements of the vertical profiles of the atmospheric aerosol optical properties (i.e., the extinction and the backscatter coefficients) and water vapour mixing ratio, are based on the well-known single scattering lidar equation. The Raman scattering is an inelastic pure molecular scattering that has been successfully used in lidar remote-sensing techniques since the late 1960s. Focused on single wavelength raman lidar systems, an overview of the data retrieval techniques will be presented along with a coincise error analysis of the studied quantities. A brief overview of the preliminary hardware/software tests necessary to assure the quality of the data is also outlined.
