Short summary
Smoothing filters applied on lidar profiles reduce the resolution to a value indicated as the effective resolution (ERes). Several approaches to ERes estimation are investigated. The key result is an operative ERes calculation by ready-to-use equations. The presented procedures to assess the ERes are of general validity. The ERes equations are deemed to be used in automatic tools like the Single Calculus Chain. Several filters already employed in the lidar community are also critically analyzed.
