Retrieval of aerosol backscatter, extinction, and lidar ratio from Raman lidar with optimal estimation

Optimal estimation retrieval is a form of nonlinear regression which determines the most probable circumstances that produced a given observation, weighted against any prior knowledge of the system. This paper applies the technique to the estimation of aerosol backscatter and extinction (or lidar ra...
