Retrieval of ocean subsurface particulate backscattering coefficient from space-borne CALIOP lidar measurements

Jacques Pelon

Abstract

A new approach has been proposed to determine ocean subsurface particulate backscattering coefficient b from CALIOP 30° off-nadir lidar measurements. The new method also provides estimates of the particle volume scattering function at the 180° scattering angle. The CALIOP based layer-integrated lidar backscatter and particulate backscattering coefficients are compared with the results obtained from MODIS ocean color measurements. The comparison analysis shows that ocean subsurface lidar backscatter and particulate backscattering coefficient bbp can be accurately obtained from CALIOP lidar measurements, thereby supporting the use of space-borne lidar measurements for ocean subsurface studies.
