Backscattering properties of ice crystals are numerically investigated in the case of plate-like quasi-horizontally oriented crystals of cirrus clouds. In this case, a vertically oriented lidar detects the specular reflection from the clouds while a lidar with angular scanning allows one to infer the microphysical properties like the transverse shape of the crystals. It is shown that the depolarization ratio as a function of the lidar tilt reveals a step at a lidar tilt of about 30° from the vertical.

However, you should pay attention to the reaction of the organism on the introduction of chemical elements with different biological roles, which is predetermined by the physiological role of organs and body systems. These include the red bone marrow, which primarily responds to endogenous and exogenous factors by its functional significance.
