Scientific paper

In investigations of linear depolarization ratios with continuous wave laser systems it has been found that melting snowflakes backscatter unexpectedly large amounts of depolarized energy. An apparatus employing a vertically polarized CW helium-neon laser has been designed to perform measurements comparable to those made with lidar in the study of snowflake melting.
