Resum
The incomplete overlap between the laser beam and the receiver field of view affects significantly lidar observations of particle optical properties in the near‐field range. A proper study of the important exchange processes of anthropogenic pollution between the sources and the lower‐most layers of the troposphere is not possible without the correction of the range‐dependent overlap characteristics. In this paper we analyze the overlap effect using a simple technique for determination of the overlap function proposed by Wandinger and Ansmann
