Although regional haze adversely affects human health and possibly counteracts global
warming from increasing levels of greenhouse gases, the formation and radiative forcing of …

Aerosol-cloud interactions (ACIs) are vital for regulating Earth's climate by influencing
energy and water cycles. Yet, effects of ACI bear large uncertainties, evidenced by …

Abstract The POLIPHON (Polarization Lidar Photometer Networking) method permits the
retrieval of particle number, surface area, and volume concentration for dust and non-dust …

Aerosol–cloud interactions play a crucial role in shaping Earth's climate and hydrological
cycle. Observing these interactions with high precision and accuracy is of the utmost …

The Twomey effect describes the radiative forcing associated with a change in cloud albedo
due to an increase in anthropogenic aerosol emissions. It is driven by the perturbation in …

The present study aims to evaluate lidar retrievals of cloud-relevant aerosol properties by
using polarization lidar and coincident airborne in situ measurements in the Saharan Air …

Despite the small size and ubiquitous presence, fine-mode aerosols play a vital role in
climate change and human health, especially in highly populated regions. Hitherto, some …

For the first time, continuous, vertically resolved long-term aerosol measurements were
conducted with a state-of-the-art multiwavelength lidar over a Central Asian site. Such …
