Saharan 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...
متن کاملSimulation of entrainment near a density stratified layer: Laboratory experiment and LIDAR observation
In this paper a simple qualitative model of the growth of a mixed layer adjacent to a uniform layer with a stably stratified layer is presented. The depth variations of mixed layer can be estimated from direct measurements. The Entrainment of a stably stratified layer into a turbulent mixed layer in a confined region was studied in laboratory for different Richardson numbers. The internal waves...
متن کاملMulti-wavelength Raman lidar, sun photometric and aircraft measurements in combination with inversion models for the estimation of the aerosol optical and physico-chemical properties over Athens, Greece
A novel procedure has been developed to retrieve, simultaneously, the optical, microphysical and chemical properties of tropospheric aerosols with a multi-wavelength Raman lidar system in the troposphere over an urban site (Athens, Greece: 37.9 N, 23.6 E, 200 m a.s.l.) using data obtained during the European Space Agency (ESA) THERMOPOLIS project, which took place between 15–31 July 2009 over t...
متن کاملColumn closure studies of lower tropospheric aerosol and water vapor during ACE-Asia using airborne Sun photometer and airborne in situ and ship-based lidar measurements
[1] We assess the consistency (closure) between solar beam attenuation by aerosols and water vapor measured by airborne Sun photometry and derived from airborne in situ and ship-based lidar measurements during the April 2001 Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization Experiment (ACE-Asia). The airborne data presented here were obtained aboard the Twin Otter aircraft. Comparing aerosol exti...
متن کاملVariation of Aerosol Size with Altitude in the Marine Boundary Layer Inverted from Multi-wavelength Lidar Backscatter Data
In June, 1990, as part of the GLOBE-2 experiment, calibrated lidar backscatter was measured as a function of altitude at wavelengths of 0.532, 1.064, 1.54 and 9.25 μm. We have used inversions of the data collected 300 km west of Honolulu to obtain bimodal aerosol distribution models throughout the lowest 1280 m of the marine boundary layer. The models suggest that the coarse mode concentrations...
