Abstract
Open ocean surface reflectance has been determined from inverted lidar measurements taken with LEANDRE I during campaigns over the Azores. Aerosol phase function has been calculated using a model of mixed sulphate and sea salt particles including humidity dependence and wind production. Results obtained are in good agreement with modelling and can be used to improve a stable inversion.
