Dust Transport across the Atlantic Studied by Airborne
During the SALTRACE field experiment, conducted during June/July 2013, the Saharan dust transport across the Atlantic was analyzed by a set of ground based, in-situ and airborne instruments, including a 2-μm coherent DWL (Doppler wind lidar) mounted onboard the DLR Falcon 20 research aircraft. An overview of the measurements of aerosol backscatter and extinction, horizontal and vertical winds r...
متن کاملWind Retrieval Algorithms for the Wind Products of the Airborne Coherent Doppler Lidar
The airborne coherent Doppler lidar could provide the wind velocity relative to the motion of the lidar. The retrieval algorithms are complex corresponding to Ground-based lidar, due to the Doppler shift caused by mobile platform. This article gives a thorough analysis of the wind retrieval algorithms for the wind products of airborne Doppler lidar, include the correction for the lidar velocity...
متن کاملOn the variability of African dust transport across the Atlantic
[1] We investigate the interannual variability of Saharan dust transport over the Atlantic by using the TOMS/ Nimbus-7 and TOMS/Earth Probe daily aerosol data. We focus on the winter season, and on the area off the NorthWest African coast (15–30 N, 30–5 W). Previous studies have suggested that the variability of the Saharan dust can be partially explained by the North Atlantic Oscillation. In a...
متن کاملDiagnostic Wind Model Initialization over Complex Terrain Using the Airborne Doppler Wind Lidar Data
An initialization method using airborne Doppler wind lidar data was developed and evaluated for a massconsistent diagnostic wind model over complex terrain. The wind profiles were retrieved from the airborne lidar using a conical scanning scheme and a signal processing algorithm specifically designed for the airborne lidar system. An objective data analysis method in complex terrain was then ap...
متن کاملSaharan dust contribution to the Caribbean summertime boundary layer – a lidar study during SALTRACE
Dual-wavelength lidar measurements with the small lidar system POLIS of the Ludwig-MaximiliansUniversität München were performed during the SALTRACE experiment at Barbados in June and July 2013. Based on high-accuracy measurements of the linear depolarization ratio down to about 200 m above ground level, the dust volume fraction and the dust mass concentration within the convective marine bound...
