Error analysis for the lidar backward inversion algorithm

Here we depart from the inhomogeneous solution of a lidar equation using the backward inversion algorithm that is nowadays generally referred to as the Klett method. In particular, we develop an error sensitivity study that relates errors in the user-input parameters boundary extinction and exponent...
