Abstract:

Multiple scattering is an important factor for measuring water optical characteristic parameters (including absorption coefficient a, attenuation coefficientc, diffuse attenuation coefficient Kd) by Lidar. Meanwhile, Field of View (FOV) is a key parameter which affects the proportion of multiple scattering in receiving echoes. In this studya parameter of FOV (qrcvr) is introduced into the inversion method of water optical properties by ocean Lidar based on the Mclean-Walker model. In the cases of shipboard, airborne and spaceborne platforms at the height of 10 m, 300 m, 7´105 m respectively, scattering echoes are calculated according to the Lidar theory. The inversion of water optical parameters is analysed with multiple scattering factor under different FOVs. It is shown that assuming that the incident laser of highly collimated, qrcvr and detecting height H are critical factors which influence inversion results in the method for obtaining water optical parameters from laser scattering echo. It is worth noting that the physical meaning of the Lidar attenuation coefficient Klidar changes with the factors. Klidar can be considered as c when qrcvr is approximately 0. And Klidar gradually approaches Kd with the increase of qrcvr´H.
