In this paper, we show a renewed approach to the generalized methodology for atmospheric lidar assessment, which uses the dimensionless parameterization as a core component. It is based on a series of our previous works where the problem of universal parameterization over many lidar technologies were described and analyzed from different points of view. The modernized dimensionless parameterization concept applied to relatively new silicon photomultiplier detectors (SiPMs) and traditional photomultiplier (PMT) detectors for remote-sensing instruments allowed predicting the lidar receiver performance with sky background available. The renewed approach can be widely used to evaluate a broad range of lidar system capabilities for a variety of lidar remote-sensing applications as well as to serve as a basis for selection of appropriate lidar system parameters for a specific application. Such a modernized methodology provides a generalized, uniform, and objective approach for evaluation of a broad range of lidar types and systems (aerosol, Raman, DIAL) operating on different targets (backscatter or topographic) and under intense sky background conditions. It can be used within the lidar community to compare different lidar instruments.
在本文中，我们展示了一种用于大气激光雷达评估的广义方法的新途径，该方法将无量纲参数化作为核心组成部分。它基于我们之前的一系列工作，在这些工作中，从不同角度描述和分析了多种激光雷达技术的通用参数化问题。将现代化的无量纲参数化概念应用于相对较新的硅光电倍增管探测器（SiPM）和用于遥感仪器的传统光电倍增管（PMT）探测器，能够在有天空背景的情况下预测激光雷达接收器的性能。这种新途径可广泛用于评估各种激光雷达遥感应用中广泛的激光雷达系统能力，也可作为为特定应用选择合适激光雷达系统参数的基础。这样一种现代化方法为评估在不同目标（后向散射或地形）上运行且处于强烈天空背景条件下的各种激光雷达类型和系统（气溶胶、拉曼、差分吸收激光雷达）提供了一种广义、统一且客观的方法。它可在激光雷达领域内用于比较不同的激光雷达仪器。
