Scattering Phase Function of Aerosol Measured Using Green Laser

Scattering phase function of the aerosol in the atmosphere can be found using a RAW photograph of the path of green laser fired overhead the camera at low elevation angles. Low-power highly portable green laser (1000 mW at 632 nm) in continuos mode can be used together with DSLR camera equipped with a fish-eye lens (Canon EOS 6D Mark II + EF8-16mm in our case).
