Lidars are active optical remote sensing instruments with unique capabilities for atmospheric
sounding. A manifold of atmospheric variables can be profiled using different types of lidar …

In this paper we present the automated software tool ELDA (EARLINET Lidar Data Analyzer)
for the retrieval of profiles of optical particle properties from lidar signals. This tool is one of …

In this paper we describe an automatic tool for the pre-processing of aerosol lidar data
called ELPP (EARLINET Lidar Pre-Processor). It is one of two calculus modules of the …

Direct and indirect aerosol effects are still one of the largest uncertainties related to the Earth
energy budget, especially in a wild and remote region like South-East Asia, where ground …

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) represents the lowermost part of the atmosphere
directly in contact with the Earth's surface. The estimation of its depth is of crucial importance …

During the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in April–May 2010 multi-wavelength Raman lidar
measurements were performed at the CNR-IMAA Atmospheric Observatory (CIAO) …

This manuscript compares measurements of aerosol size distributions and microphysical
properties retrieved from the Raman lidar BASIL with those obtained from a series of aircraft …

Abstract The Boundary layer Air Quality-analysis Using Network of Instruments (BAQUNIN)
supersite is presented. The site has been collecting pollutant concentrations and …

A stand-alone lidar-based method for detecting airborne hazards for aviation in near real
time (NRT) is presented. A polarization lidar allows for the identification of irregular-shaped …

This work stems from the idea of improving the capability to measure the atmospheric
boundary layer height (ABLH) in variable or unstable weather conditions or in the presence …
