In the context of increasing problems of atmospheric pollution and deterioration of air quality, measuring the vertical distribution of aerosols is becoming a primary task for meteorology, ecology and climatology. Traditional monostatic lidars, being the main tool of remote sensing, have fundamental limitations associated with incomplete overlap of the laser beam and the receiving system in the lower layer of the atmosphere. This article examines in detail the problems of standard methods, describes the physical and technical limitations, and proposes an approach based on a spaced (bistatic) scheme, where a digital camera is used as a detector. The presented method allows eliminating the problem of the near zone, increasing the resolution and providing more accurate measurement of aerosol profiles in the immediate vicinity of the earth's surface.
