Abstract

We describe implementation and demonstration of a polarization technique adapted for lidar to measure all unique elements of the volume backscatter phase matrix. This capability allows for detection of preferential orientation within a scattering volume, and may improve scattering inversions on oriented ice crystals. The technique is enabled using a Mueller formalism commonly employed in polarimetry, which does not require the lidar instrument be polarization preserving. Instead, the accuracy of the polarization measurements are limited by the accuracy of the instrument characterization. A high spectral resolution lidar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research was modified to demonstrate this polarization technique. Two observations where the instrument is tilted off zenith are presented. In the first case, the lidar detects flattened large raindrops oriented along the same direction due to drag forces from falling. The second case is an ice cloud approximately 5 km above lidar base that contains preferentially oriented ice crystals in a narrow altitude band.

Layout of HSRL transceiver. The laser is initially vertically polarized and in its original polarization operation, the use of a QWP allows the instrument to measure circular depolarization ratios. By rotating the QWP, the transmitted and detected polarizations actively change, and the rank of the measurement matrix A is increased. Additional optics to the left of the QWP such as folding mirrors and polarizers have been omitted. The high backscatter receiver channel has also been omitted.

Poincaré Sphere representation of output polarizations for a horizontally polarized input resulting from an ideal QWP (blue) and the titled QWP (red) used in the HSRL and described in Eq. (23). Tilting the QWP tilts the output polarization trajectory and the first order term results in a path that is not quite periodic for 180° rotation.

Measured backscatter, F11(R) on parallel (blue), uncorrected cross polarized (red solid line) and corrected cross polarized (red dashed line) channels. Multiplying the received photon counts on the cross polarized channel by 1/K(R) results in retrieval of nearly identical backscatter measurements on the two channels.

Observed normalized backscatter phase (Mueller) matrix of heavy rainfall with a mixed phase cloud above it. The profile is time integrated over the highly diattenuating rain in Fig. 4. Diagonal matrix terms are dashed and off diagonals are solid. The cloud above 2.5 km is strictly depolarizing (randomly oriented) with off diagonal terms all zero. The rain below 2.5 km consists of oriented oblate spheroids which have a common preferred orientation.

Backscatter ratio (top), depolarization (middle) and diattenuation (bottom) of an ice cloud containing oriented ice crystals observed on July 2, 2012. The presence of the oriented ice crystals is not clear from the backscatter and depolarization profiles alone, but non-zero diattenuation indicates preferential orientation occurring mostly in an altitude band near 5 km..

Observed normalized backscatter phase (Mueller) matrix of ice cloud with a thin layer of oriented ice crystals. Diagonal matrix terms are dashed and off diagonal are solid. Most of the profile is strictly depolarizing, but there is a narrow (approximately 0.5 km) altitude range starting at 5 km that contains non-zero off diagonal scattering terms, indicating the presence of oriented ice crystals.
