摘要
基于辐射传输理论,利用蒙特卡罗方法模拟了无限窄(冲击函数)准直光束入射到典型水云以及冰水双层云时的后向散射特性,进而将得到的冲击响应与高斯光束卷积,得到高斯光束在云层中传输的多次散射特性.文中给出了两种波束入射时水云以及冰水双层云的反射函数随径向r和天顶角α的变化关系,并给出了光强在云层内部的二维分布图.计算结果表明,高斯光束入射时,云层反射函数的特点与无限窄准直光束入射时有较大区别.因此在利用激光雷达进行云层探测时需要考虑激光的散斑,文中的方法可以为此提供理论依据.
Based on the radiative transfer theory,the backscattering characteristics of water clouds and ice-water two layers clouds irradiated by infinite narrow collimated light beam are studied by using the Monte Carlo method.The incident wavelength is 0.532 μm,and the cloud particle shape is assumed to be of sphere or plate.The single scattering characteristics of the clouds are computed based on the Mie theory,and the scattering angle sampling is based on the Mie phase function.The photon step adjustment is considered when the step is large enough to cross the cloud layer.The variations of reflection functions of the water clouds and ice-water two layers clouds with the radial length r and zenith angle are given,and the interior light intensity distribution of clouds are given in two dimensions.Prom the computed results,we find that the reflection characteristics of the two layer clouds are greatly different from those of the pure water clouds.The reflection intensity of ice clouds covered with water clouds is bigger than that of ice clouds covered with water clouds.This reason is that the sizes of ice clouds are larger than those of the water clouds,so more photons will be scattered into the interior of the clouds.The cloud layer is assumed to be linear and invariant,so the response to an infinitely narrow photon beam will be described by a Green＇s function of the clouds,and the response to the Gaussian beam can be computed from the convolution of the Green＇s function according to the profile of the Gaussian photon beam.The multiple scattering characteristics of the Gaussian photon beam are computed from the convolution of the impulse response,i.e.,the response to an infinitely narrow photon beam,according to the profile of the Gaussian light photon beam.From the computed results,we find that the reflection function of clouds for Gaussian incidence has a great difference from that for the infinite narrow beam incidence.The reflected light intensity is inversely proportional to the size of the Gaussian beam at the location near r = 0.So the laser spot must be considered when detecting the clouds by using of the lidar,and the method presented in this paper can give theoretical support.
