Popis: We have developed an algorithm for segmentation of aerosol inhomogeneities in the registered field of lidar signal fluctuations in the atmosphere in the "Range – Time" coordinates that is based on a sliding window of a two-dimensional autocorrelation function. The obtained algorithm allows us to robustly detect aerosol inhomogeneities, which can be used in practical applications to study aerosol fields in the atmosphere and improve the accuracy of estimating the speed and direction of winds. The developed method was applied for obtaining a histogram of aerosol inhomogeneity-size distribution from 355-nm elastic lidar measurements data in the surface layer.
