Extraction of Aerosol and Rayleigh Components from Doppler Lidar Return SignalOne of the most significant problems which limits the applicability of lidar systems for pressure and density profile measurements below 30 km altitude is the presence of atmospheric aerosols which contaminate the molecular or Rayleigh return signal. A new technique is described which allows for the separation of the return signal into aerosol and molecular scattered components. The technique was applied to data from the University of Michigan's High Resolution Doppler Lidar (HRDL).
