Polarimetry is one of the most promising types of remote sensing for improved
characterization of atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly …

Atmospheric effects have a significant impact on the performance of airborne and space
laser systems. Traditional models used to predict propagation effects rely heavily on …

The proposed development is an attempt to enhance aerosol retrieval by emphasizing
statistical optimization in inversion of advanced satellite observations. This optimization …

The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar
(HSRL) on the NASA B200 aircraft has acquired extensive datasets of aerosol extinction …

We present spectrally resolved optical and microphysical properties of western Canadian
wildfire smoke observed in a tropospheric layer from 5–6.5 km height and in a stratospheric …

Triple-wavelength lidar observations of the depolarization ratio and the backscatter
coefficient of marine aerosol as a function of relative humidity (RH) are presented with a 5 …

This paper presents the GARRLiC algorithm (Generalized Aerosol Retrieval from
Radiometer and Lidar Combined data) that simultaneously inverts coincident lidar and …

Long-range-transported Canadian smoke layers in the stratosphere over northern France
were detected by three lidar systems in August 2017. The peaked optical depth of the …

We investigate the potential of polarization lidar to provide vertical profiles of aerosol
parameters from which cloud condensation nucleus (CCN) and ice nucleating particle (INP) …

Triple-wavelength polarization lidar measurements in Saharan dust layers were performed
at Barbados (13.1° N, 59.6° W), 5000–8000 km west of the Saharan dust sources, in the …
