Abstract
The present work is related to LIDAR remote sensing of the atmosphere in the presence of cirrus clouds (CC) along the LIDAR line of sight (LOS), when the multiple-backscatter component of the LIDAR return may be essential. E. Eloranta has found analytical expressions of the multiple-backscatter components of different orders as containing the corresponding ratios of the multiple-to-single backscatter phase functions of the backward scattering medium. As a main purpose of this work, we estimated the above-mentioned ratios in cases of backscattering from air and CC, using accurate approximations of the single-scattering phase functions obtained by U. Wandinger. The results obtained show that the multiple-to-single backscatter phase function ratios for air are equal to unity, while for CCs they are quite near unity.
