内容記述 | We analyze the potential of combined backscatter and depolarization information for deriving the optical parameters of Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSCs) together with the size and physical phase of the cloud particles. In particular, we investigate the influence of particle shape and orientation on the parallel and perpendicular backscattered intensities and on the depolarization ratio under experimental noise conditions, and how the first three moments of the particle size distribution (i.e., particle concentration, mean radius, and standard deviation) may be used to introduce further distinction between type Ia and type Ib PSCs. |
