We therefore developed an iterative approach to correct elastic backscatter lidar signals for multiple scattering to obtain best estimates of single-scattering cloud optical depth and lidar ratio as well as of the ice crystal effective radius. The approach is based on the exploration of the effect of MS on the molecular backscatter signal returned from above cloud top.1-4openAccessmultiple scatteringoptical radarcrystalscloudsoptical depth curveelastic scatteringphotonsArtigo de periódico0503717610.1051/epjconf/201817605037https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9691-5306Sem PercentilSem Percentil CiteScore
