Abstract

We used variance reduction Monte Carlo method [1] and analytical extension of the Mie theory [2] to calculate spaceborn lidar returns from the pure and cloudy atmosphere and we analysed the influence of multiple scattering on the interpretation of measurements. In particular, the performance capabilities of identification of cloud layers from space has been evaluated.
