Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for detecting contaminants on a window surface of a viewing system utilizing light. SOLUTION: This method comprises steps of reflecting light off from contaminants on the window surface; capturing the reflected light in an image; converting the image into image data; and processing the image data to detect the contaminants on the window surface. The apparatus for detecting contaminants on an external surface of a window of a viewing system comprises: at least one light source for reflecting light from contaminants on the external surface; an imager for capturing an image of the reflected light and converting the image into image data; and a processor for processing the image data to detect the contaminants on the external surface.

Abstract: In one aspect, methods of determining a size distribution of water droplets in a cloud are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of determining a size distribution of water droplets in a cloud comprises sampling a depth of a cloud with a beam of electromagnetic radiation, measuring echo intensities of the electromagnetic radiation returned from the cloud with a detector, determining a measured optical extinction coefficient from the measured echo intensities, determining a measured backscatter coefficient from the measured echo intensities, determining a lidar ratio from the measured optical extinction coefficient and the measured backscatter coefficient, determining from the lidar ratio a value pair comprising a shape parameter (µ) and median volume diameter (D MVD) of the water droplets, and determining a size distribution of the water droplets using the value pair (µ, D MVD).

Abstract: In one aspect, methods of determining a size distribution of water droplets in a cloud are described herein. In some embodiments, a method of determining a size 5 distribution of water droplets in a cloud comprises sampling a depth of the cloud with a beam of electromagnetic radiation, measuring a scattering signal of the electromagnetic radiation returned from the cloud over a range of field of view angles to provide a measured scattering curve [proa,(O)], removing a portion of the measured scattering curve, replacing the removed portion with an extrapolation of the remaining measured scattering 10 curve to provide an estimated scattering curve, and determining a first estimate droplet size distribution [nt1)(D)] from the estimated scattering curve. r --- - gO) I ) 0) E -S* ' 0 uE E*1 = COD C) 0 =C ?=, ar :C 0 CD cEO) wa) a) M C E0 0 U =)~~~~ - )m II) 0i E >cJ - E) - n a) Z (0 (O!a)' a) )~ CW 0 J to 0- cu, :ZL a)U E~a ixL ) 0 6c' a) Ea E. 10 U) U n 0' u )c 3( 0) .0 C 0 0 0 M Ot cli ) m * = > E i0)0 33 1 ?
