Abstract

We use a femtosecond white-light lidar for an extended characterisation of the cloud microphysics. We deduce Particle size and density within the cloud from the multispectral multiple scattering pattern of an ultrashort terawatt laser on a cloud. Furthermore we yield temperature and relative humidity from the spectral analysis of the atmospheric transmission of the white-light continuum from the same laser source which permits to make simultaneous measurements.
