Abstract

The Air Force requires information on light scattering by atmospheric particles in order to determine visibility for aircraft operations at airfields. The multiple scattering process is one facet that comes into strong play in the measurement of visibility in category II and III conditions. Experimental lidar slant visual range measuring systems are described.
