Abstract
Laser radars, or lidars, are powerful tools for probing the atmosphere. Inverting the lidar equation, however, suffers, from the problem of having more unknowns than equations. Numerous studies have focused on how to reduce the problem to a complete set of equations. Many of the solution schemes have major limitations as a result of the unrealistic assumptions required to complete the set of equations.
