Optical properties of different aerosol types: seven years of combined Raman-elastic backscatter lidar measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece
We present our combined Raman/elastic backscatter lidar observations which were carried out at the EARLINET station of Thessaloniki, Greece, during the period 2001–2007. The largest optical depths are observed for Saharan dust and smoke aerosol particles. For local and continental polluted aerosols the measurements indicate high aerosol loads. However, measurements associated with the local pat...
متن کاملLidar Determination of Quartz Concentration in the Tropospheric Mineral Aerosols – Methodology and First Results
This paper presents a lidar method that enables the determination of quartz concentration in mineral aerosols from simultaneously measured, high-spectralresolution lidar and quartz Raman lidar signals. The method and experimental results are presented.
متن کاملMeasurements of Saharan dust aerosols over the Eastern Mediterranean using elastic backscatter-Raman lidar, spectrophotometric and satellite observations in the frame of the EARLINET project
We report on the vertical distributions of Saharan dust aerosols over the N.E. Mediterranean region, which were obtained during a typical dust outbreak on August 2000, by two lidar systems located in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, in the frame of the European EARLINET project. MODIS and ground sun spectrophotometric data, as well as air-mass backward trajectories confirmed the existence of Sa...
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 کاملThe Setup and the Performances of L’aquila Raman Lidar and Standard Ptu and Pto3 Balloon Soundings for Envisat Validation
We report the design and the performances of a Raman lidar for monitoring the tropospheric aerosol backscattering and extinction coefficients, water vapor mixing ratio and cloud liquid water. After describing the system components, along with the current limitations and options for improvement, we report examples of observations. The PTU and PTO3 balloon soundings are carried on with standard i...
