Abstract
The previously adopted values of the depolarization factor of clear atmospheric air are checked with the values obtained by lidar facilities, and with those obtained in laboratory measurements, using scattering of a He-Ne gas laser. These values and the importance of the depolarization factor in lidar measurements are discussed.
