METHOD OF DISTANT OPTICAL PROBING OF INHOMOGENEOUS ATMOSPHERE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01W1/00 G01S17/95 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: remote sensing optical method of heterogeneous atmosphere contains stage parcels into the atmosphere light pulses of points separated in space, on the road, intersects the specified point, and on additional routes, crossing these lines with the formation of areas of sensing, limited lines between points where they intersect, receive signals, scattered in the opposite direction. Based on the signals, the characteristics of the inhomogeneous atmosphere are determined by their power. Also, the sensing region is reduced by sending light pulses along additional paths, alternately, at angles of inclination smaller and greater than the angle of inclination to a predetermined point. Also, the light pulses are sent along additional third paths passing through the intersection points of the traces in which the characteristics of the atmosphere are determined.

EFFECT: increasing the accuracy of the definitions due to the correct coupling of the backscatter factor and the attenuation coefficient.
