Outline a) The overlap control issues: An approach to measure overlap function Optical scrambler as a solution for identical overlap Overlap correction in extinction retrieval b) Lidar / Ceilometer comparison * The subject presented is illustrated on the data collected with one of two Raman lidars of Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Hamburg) deployed on Deebles Point, Barbados (59.43W 13.16N) since 04.04.2010

Conclusion a) optical scrambling allows no overlap-depending artefacts in lidar products derived through a signal ratio b) measuring the overlap (continuously) allows extending the system reliability for extinction retrieval in other words: the lidar may be misaligned to some (even quite significant) extent, we should just know how much is it by measuring the overlap function.
