摘要

Lidar/Radiometer (LIRAD) observations from the ground have yielded values of the cloud backscatter-to-extinction ratio and emittance of midlevel and boundary layer clouds, as well as of the more common cirrus observations. The cloud backscatter-to-extinction ratio is numerically equal to the cloud particle backscatter phase function, when suitably normalised. CALIPSO will be launched in early 2005 and will carry a two-wavelength depolarisation lidar together with a scanning infrared filter radiometer. Thus CALIPSO is ideal for LIRAD-type observations. Although midlevel and boundary layer water clouds tend to have higher optical depths than cirrus clouds, LIRAD observations of midlevel clouds and boundary layer clouds indicate that cases of semitransparent water clouds do occur. The backscatter phase function of water clouds is also much more constant than that for ice clouds. Theoretical studies indicate that the total variation of backscatter phase function in water clouds is about +- 5%. An advantage of this small variation is that the integrated backscatter can be used also for calibration of the lidar instrument or, alternatively, estimation of the multiple scattering factor in the backscatter. An inherent difficulty in observations of water clouds is that the typical cellular nature of stratocumulus and altocumulus clouds implies that the field of view of the lidar may not be cloud-filled at any one time. Thus a signal from an unfilled field of view could be confused with that from a cloud of lower optical depth. Further, the field of view of the infrared radiometer is different from that of the lidar. In order to calibrate the lidar, a cloud-filled field of view is required. These issues are explored in this paper and a method for separating the two cases is presented.
