A new method to simulate radar and coherent backscattering within the framework of the 3D Monte Carlo radiative transfer model MYSTIC has been developed. Simulating radar is solved with the help of the already existing lidar simulator. Therefore the larger part of this paper presents a solution to simulate coherent backscattering and shows a comparison to a real case.
