Abstract
The special features of hydrooptical signals of an airborne polarization lidar are theoretically and experimentally analyzed in the case of sensing of homogeneous water mass under controllable conditions. The results obtained expand the possibilities of interpretation of lidar return signals, especially in complex and ambiguous situations. Results of theoretical and experimental investigations of the depth profiles of hydrooptical signals of airborne polarization lidars operated under conditions of homogeneous water depth are presented.
