Abstract
We propose a lookup table method to derive vertical distributions of aerosol optical parameters in the troposphere from multiwavelength observations using a Mie-scattering lidar. The method is characterized by the capability of treating generalized aerosol size distributions, as well as by rapid convergence of the iteration procedure. The methodology and numerical simulation are described.
