Abstract
This paper deals with Monte Carlo simulation of optical phenomena which appear in the lidar sensing of atmospheric clouds and water media. By numerical experiments we study peculiarities of the laser pulse propagation when the light forms expanding ring structures at the expense of multiple scattering.
