LIDAR MEASUREMENTS OF OPTICAL THICKNESS OF HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS IN TOMSK
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
The report presents data from lidar observations of upper-level clouds in Tomsk in 2011-2017. Observations were carried out using a LOSA-S multi-wave lidar, simultaneously recording elastic scattering signals (355 and 532 nm) and Raman scattering signals in the vibrational Q-band (387 and 607 nm). Examples of lidar records are given, the method for determining the optical thickness of the cloud layer and possible sources of calculation errors are considered.

Keywords:
atmosphere, lidar, clouds.
