Evolution of the ice phase in tropical altocumulus : SAMUM lidar observations over Cape Verde
(2009-09-16)
The formation of the ice phase in tropical altocumulus has been studied with multiwavelength aerosol-cloud Raman lidar, wind Doppler lidar, and radiosonde, providing information on geometrical and optical properties, cloud ...
EARLINET: the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network for the Aerosol Climatology on Continental Scale
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Lidar techniques represent the most suitable tool to obtain information on the aerosol vertical distribution and therefore to close this kind of observational gap. Lidar networks are fundamental to study aerosol on large ...
Ten years of multiwavelength Raman lidar observations of free-tropospheric aerosol layers over central Europe : Geometrical properties and annual cycle
(2008-10-27)
We present geometrical properties and seasonal variations of appearance of aerosol particle pollution in the free troposphere over the central European lidar site at Leipzig, Germany. The data set has been acquired with ...
Raman lidar for monitoring of aerosol pollution in the free troposphere
(Springer Nature, 2008)
Geometrical, optical, and microphysical properties of free-tropospheric pollution have been determined with multiwavelength Raman lidar at Leipzig, Germany. Long-term observations carried out at fixed times (three times ...
Cirrus optical properties observed with lidar, radiosonde, and satellite over the tropical Indian Ocean during the aerosol-polluted northeast and clean maritime southwest monsoon
(2007-09-14)
Cirrus formation and geometrical and optical properties of tropical cirrus as a function of height and temperature are studied on the basis of INDOEX ( Indian Ocean Experiment) lidar and radiosonde measurements and satellite ...
Aerosol-type-dependent lidar ratios observed with Raman lidar
(2007-08-17)
[1] We summarize our Raman lidar observations which were carried out in Europe, Asia, and Africa during the past 10 years, with focus on particle extinction-to-backscatter ratios ( lidar ratios) and (A) over circle ngstrom ...
Multiwavelength Raman lidar observations of particle growth during long-range transport of forest-fire smoke in the free troposphere
(2007-03-02)
We present particle effective radii and Angstrom exponents of aged free-tropospheric forest-fire smoke. The particle plumes were observed with different multiwavelength Raman lidars downwind of the fires that burned in ...
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 ...
Raman lidar observations of aged Siberian and Canadian forest fire smoke in the free troposphere over Germany in 2003 : Microphysical particle characterization
(2005-09-02)
Dual-wavelength Raman lidar observations were regularly carried out at Leipzig (51.3 degrees N, 12.4 degrees E) from May to August 2003. The measurements showed that particle backscatter and extinction coefficients in the ...
Daytime operation of a pure rotational Raman lidar by use of a Fabry-Perot interferometer
(2005-06-10)
We propose to use a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) in a pure rotational Raman lidar to isolate return signals that are due to pure rotational Raman scattering from atmospheric nitrogen against the sky background. The ...
