volume_backwards_scattering_coefficient_of_radiative_flux_by_ranging_instrument_in_air_due_to_ambient_aerosol_particles

Volume backwards scattering coefficient by ranging instrument is the fraction of radiative flux, per unit path length and per unit solid angle, scattered at 180 degrees angle respect to the incident radiation and obtained through ranging techniques like lidar and radar. Backwards scattering coefficient is assumed to be related to the same wavelength of incident radiation. "Ambient_aerosol" means that the aerosol is measured or modelled at the ambient state of pressure, temperature and relative humidity that exists in its immediate environment. "Ambient aerosol particles" are aerosol particles that have taken up ambient water through hygroscopic growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth depends on the relative humidity and the composition of the particles. The specification of a physical process by the phrase "due_to_" process means that the quantity named is a single term in a sum of terms which together compose the general quantity named by omitting the phrase.
