Siberian forest-fire smoke observed over central Europe in spring/summer 2003 in the framework of earlinet
(ESA PUBLICATIONS DIVISION C/O ESTEC, 2004)
We observed unexpectedly high particle backscattering and extinction in the free troposphere over Leipzig, Germany, in spring/summer 2003. Optical depth was about four times higher than in the respective months of 2000-2002. ...
Gravity-wave-induced cloud formation in desert dust : Observation with temperature/humidity/aerosol Raman lidar in the framework of earlinet
(ESA PUBLICATIONS DIVISION C/O ESTEC, 2004)
The evolution of three cloud layers that formed during the passage of a gravity wave in a desert dust layer was monitored with an advanced Raman lidar. Dust is characterized in terms of particle optical properties. The ...
Optic-fiber scramblers and a fourier transform lens as a means to tackle the problem on the overlap factor of lidar
(ESA PUBLICATIONS DIVISION C/O ESTEC, 2004)
We present an instrumental approach to formation of the light beam in the image space of lidar optical receiver, behind its field stop, aimed at removing some adverse range dependent effects of the lidar overlap factor on ...
Long-range transport of Saharan dust to northern Europe : The 11-16 October 2001 outbreak observed with EARLINET
(2003-12-24)
[1] The spread of mineral particles over southwestern, western, and central Europe resulting from a strong Saharan dust outbreak in October 2001 was observed at 10 stations of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network ...
Unexpectedly high aerosol load in the free troposphere over central Europe in spring/summer 2003
(2003-11-29)
We observed particle extinction coefficients of 5 30 Mm(-1) and particle optical depths of 0.03 - 0.11 at UV and visible wavelengths in the free troposphere from May to July, 2003. In May and early June distinct aerosol ...
Saharan dust over a central European EARLINET-AERONET site : Combined observations with Raman lidar and Sun photometer
(2003-06-17)
[1] Combined observations with an advanced aerosol water-vapor temperature Raman lidar and a Sun photometer are used for a detailed characterization of geometrical and optical properties of a continental-scale Saharan dust ...
Co-ordinated vertical profiling of Saharan dust over western and central Europe with a continental lidar network : The 11-16 October 2001 outbreak
(INST TROPICAL MEDICINE ROTTERDAM - LEIDEN, 2003)
The spread of mineral particles over southwestern, western, and central Europe resulting from a strong Saharan dust outbreak in October 2001 was observed with the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET). For the ...
Round-the-clock temperature profiling in the troposphere with Raman lidar
(INST TROPICAL MEDICINE ROTTERDAM - LEIDEN, 2003)
We discuss the Raman-lidar technology of acquiring temperature profiles of the atmosphere that we have recently developed to facilitate the day-time temperature measurements with lidar. Information on the temperature profile ...
Relative-humidity profiling in the troposphere with a Raman lidar
(2002-10-20)
We describe a Raman-lidar-based approach to acquiring profiles of the relative humidity of air. For this purpose we combined in one instrument the Raman-lidar techniques that are used for the profiling of water vapor and ...
Dual-wavelength Raman lidar observations of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio of Saharan dust
(2002-05-01)
[1] For the first time, height profiles of the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) of desert dust particles were simultaneously measured at 355 and 532 nm. The observations were performed with an advanced Raman ...
