Figure 1: Plot showing how much of transmitted light is reflected back (multiplied by height-squared)
Figure 2: Plot showing where aerosol is reflecting light (backscatter ratio)
Figure 3: Plot showing depolarisation ratio. This indicates the shape of the particles (the higher the ratio the more irregularly-shaped they are).
Water Vapour Lidar - Aberystwyth
Figure 4: Plot showing backscatter ratio with contours of water vapour mixing ratio.
