Abstract

Cloud is a common natural phenomenon in the sky, and has an irregular and arbitrary appearance. Cloud has serious interference with optical sensors, so it is meaningful to research the optical characteristic of cloud. In this paper, lidar was used to measure the vertical atmosphere, and the atmospheric extinction characteristic data were obtained by retrieving the measured data. During the measurement period, clouds appeared in the sky, and it information was recorded. The extinction characteristics of cloud, the height of cloud bottom and the height of cloud top were given, and the transmittance and optical thickness of the cloud were further analyzed.
