The unprecedented 2017-2018 stratospheric smoke event : Decay phase and aerosol properties observed with the EARLINET
(2019-12-13)
Six months of stratospheric aerosol observations with the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) from August 2017 to January 2018 are presented. The decay phase of an unprecedented, record-breaking stratospheric ...
Retrieval of ice-nucleating particle concentrations from lidar observations and comparison with UAV in situ measurements
(2019-09-09)
Aerosols that are efficient ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are crucial for the formation of cloud ice via heterogeneous nucleation in the atmosphere. The distribution of INPs on a large spatial scale and as a function of ...
Aerosol absorption profiling from the synergy of lidar and sun-photometry : The ACTRIS-2 campaigns in Germany, Greece and Cyprus
(2018-04-13)
Aerosol absorption profiling is crucial for radiative transfer calculations and climate modelling. Here, we utilize the synergy of lidar with sun-photometer measurements to derive the absorption coefficient and single ...
PollyNET - a network of multiwavelength polarization Raman lidars
(SPIE, 2013-10-22)
PollyNET is a growing global network of automatized multiwavelength polarization Raman lidars of type Polly (Althausen et al., 2009). The goal of this network is to conduct advanced remote measurements of aerosol profiles ...
Portable Raman Lidar Polly(XT) for Automated Profiling of Aerosol Backscatter, Extinction, and Depolarization
(2009-11)
Two versions of the portable aerosol Raman lidar system (Polly) are presented. First, the two-channel prototype is depicted. It has been developed for the independent and simultaneous determination of particle backscatter ...
Dust and smoke transport from Africa to South America : Lidar profiling over Cape Verde and the Amazon rainforest
(2009-06-02)
Quasi-simultaneous vertically resolved multiwavelength aerosol Raman lidar observations were conducted in the near field (Praia, Cape Verde, 15 degrees N, 23.5 degrees W) and in the far field (Manaus, Amazon basin, Brazil, ...
