+Calculation of pollarization correction factors for atmospheric lidar system, developed by Volker Freudenthaler (LMU).
+
+# Theory
+The theoretical basis of the script is described in detail in :

+
+
+# Use
+To run the script you need to:
+
+1. Create a file describing your system settings and parameters. You can find an example file in the "system_settings"
+   folder. Give a descriptive name and save it in the "system_settings" folder.
+
+2. Open the "lidar_correction_ghk.py" file, and set the variable InputFile to the filename you chose in step 1.
+
+3. Run "python lidar_correction_ghk.py"
