Potential of lidar backscatter data to estimate solar aerosol radiative forcing
(2006-02-01)
The potential to estimate solar aerosol radiative forcing (SARF) in cloudless conditions from backscatter data measured by widespread standard lidar has been investigated. For this purpose 132 days of sophisticated ...
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 ...
Ice formation in Saharan dust over central Europe observed with temperature/humidity//aerosol Raman lidar
(2005-04-26)
[1] Three gravity-wave-induced clouds and a glaciating altocumulus layer were continuously monitored with lidar at Leipzig, Germany, on 21 November 2003. The midtropospheric clouds formed in Saharan dust at heights from ...
Multiyear aerosol observations with dual-wavelength Raman lidar in the framework of EARLINET
(2004-07-10)
For the first time, a Raman lidar operating simultaneously in the ultraviolet (UV) and in the visible wavelength range was employed to measure vertical profiles of volume extinction coefficients of particles at 355 and 532 ...
Closure study on optical and microphysical properties of a mixed urban and Arctic haze air mass observed with Raman lidar and Sun photometer
(2004-07)
[1] We present a comprehensive optical and microphysical characterization of an intense haze event observed over Leipzig ( 51.3 degreesN, 12.4 degreesE), Germany, in April 2002. This event was characterized by unusually ...
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 ...
Indo-Asian pollution during INDOEX : Microphysical particle properties and single-scattering albedo inferred from multiwavelength lidar observations
(2003-10-07)
[1] We present for the first time a comprehensive data set of vertically resolved physical particle properties, and the single-scattering albedo at 532 nm, derived from multiwavelength lidar observations of pollution plumes ...
Arctic haze over Central Europe
(2003-07)
An extraordinary aerosol situation over Leipzig, Germany in April 2002 was investigated with a comprehensive set of ground-based volumetric and columnar aerosol data, combined with aerosol profiles from lidar, meteorological ...
