Abstract

The Laboratory of Environmental Applications of Lasers at Ipen realizes a study about atmospherics properties, such as extinction and backscattering coecient. These coecients are estimated by an inverse method, whose estimate quality is dicult to measure. This work presents a method with good statistic approach to retrieval the same coecients. The new method, however, oers a number of advantages compared to the rst method in use, including (1) the ability to incorporate dierent kinds of information under a common retrieval philosophy and (2) the method provides number of ways for evaluating the quality of the retrieval. Thus we hope improve the accuracy of estimates. vi (AU)
