Interactive comment on “Nine years of UV aerosol optical depth measurements at Thessaloniki, Greece” by S. Kazadzis et al
We would like to thank the reviewer for the useful comments and suggestions. Most of them have been taken into account. A change in the de-seasonalisation method and the calculation of trends lead to slight changes in the retrieved AOD trends. In addition the use of cloud flagging methodology to derive clear sky scans also for the Brewer MKII direct sun scans eliminated a (small) number of poin...
متن کاملOptical 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 کاملClimatological aspects of aerosol optical properties in Northern Greece
Measurements of aerosol optical properties (aerosol optical depth, scattering and backscattering coefficients) have been conducted at two groundbased sites in Northern Greece, Ouranoupolis (4023 N, 2357 E, 170 m a.s.l.) and Thessaloniki (4038 N, 2257 E, 80 m a.s.l.), between 1999 and 2002. The frequency distributions of the observed parameters have revealed the presence of individual modes of h...
متن کاملDirect spectral measurements with a Brewer spectroradiometer: absolute calibration and aerosol optical depth retrieval.
We present three different methods for the absolute calibration of direct spectral irradiances measured with a Brewer spectroradiometer, which are shown to agree to within +/- 2%. Direct irradiance spectra derived by Brewer and Bentham spectroradiometers agree to within 4 +/- 3%. Good agreement was also found by a comparison of the aerosol optical depth and Angstrom exponent retrieved by the tw...
