Review of acp-2016-1181 “Depolarization Ratios Retrieved by AERONET 1 Sun/Sky Radiometer Data 2 and Comparison to Depolarization Ratios Measured With Lidar” by Youngmin

Depolarization ratios retrieved by AERONET sun–sky radiometer data and comparison to depolarization ratios measured with lidar

The linear particle depolarization ratios at 440, 675, 870, and 1020 nm were derived using data taken with the AERONET sun–sky radiometer at Seoul (37.45 N, 126.95 E), Kongju (36.47 N, 127.14 E), Gosan (33.29 N, 126.16 E), and Osaka (34.65 N, 135.59 E). The results are compared to the linear particle depolarization ratio measured by lidar at 532 nm. The correlation coefficient R2 between the li...

Investigation of the diurnal pattern of the vertical distribution of pollen in the lower troposphere using LIDAR

The diurnal pattern of the vertical distribution of biogenic pollen in the lower troposphere was investigated by LIDAR. Meteorological data were taken at the ground. Pollen concentrations were measured at the surface using a Burkard 7-day-recording volumetric spore sampler. Aerosol extinction coefficients and depolarization ratios at 532 nm were obtained from LIDAR measurements in spring (4 May...

Interactive comment on “Aerosol microphysical retrievals from Precision Filter Radiometer direct solar radiation measurements and comparison with AERONET” by S. Kazadzis et al

The authors present results of measurements with a precision filter radiometer and compare their results to collocated measurements carried out with an AERONET (CIMEL) sun photometer. The purpose of the study is to show that the measurements of the precision filter radiometer, which is used by the GAW aerosol network, can be used to extend the data available from AERONET sun photometers. The au...
