Characterization of atmospheric aerosols with multiwavelength Raman lidar
(SPIE, 2007)
Multiwavelength Raman lidar observations have matured into a powerful tool for the vertical resolved characterization of optical and microphysical properties of atmospheric aerosol particles. Raman lidars that operate with ...
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 ...
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 ...
