The characterization of Taklamakan dust properties using a multiwavelength Raman polarization lidar in Kashi, China

Multiwavelength and polarization lidar measurements of Asian dust layers over Tsukuba, Japan: a case study

Measurement and Study of Lidar Ratio by Using a Raman Lidar in Central China

We comprehensively evaluated particle lidar ratios (i.e., particle extinction to backscatter ratio) at 532 nm over Wuhan in Central China by using a Raman lidar from July 2013 to May 2015. We utilized the Raman lidar data to obtain homogeneous aerosol lidar ratios near the surface through the Raman method during no-rain nights. The lidar ratios were approximately 57 ± 7 sr, 50 ± 5 sr, and 22 ± ...

Forest Fire Smoke Layers Observed in the Free Troposphere over Portugal with a Multiwavelength Raman Lidar: Optical and Microphysical Properties

Vertically resolved optical and microphysical properties of biomass burning aerosols, measured in 2011 with a multiwavelength Raman lidar, are presented. The transportation time, within 1-2 days (or less), pointed towards the presence of relatively fresh smoke particles over the site. Some strong layers aloft were observed with particle backscatter and extinction coefficients (at 355 nm) greate...

Using Mie Raman Lidar measurements to explore cloud properties

The potential of measuring low altitude optically thin clouds with a Raman-elastic lidar in the daytime is analyzed. Optical depths of low clouds are derived by two separate methods from nitrogen-Raman and elastic scattering returns. By correcting for aerosol influences with the combined Raman-elastic returns, Mie-retrievals of low cloud optical depth can be dramatically improved and show good ...
