A global vertically resolved aerosol data set covering more than 10 years of observations at
more than 20 measurement sites distributed from 63∘ N to 52∘ S and 72∘ W to 124∘ E has …

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) defines the volume of air adjacent to the Earth's
surface for the dilution of heat, moisture, and trace substances. Quantitative knowledge on …

The European Aerosol Research Lidar Network, EARLINET, was founded in 2000 as a
research project for establishing a quantitative, comprehensive, and statistically significant …

The atmospheric science community demands autonomous and quality-assured vertically
resolved measurements of aerosol and cloud properties. For this purpose, a portable lidar …

We summarize our Raman lidar observations which were carried out in Europe, Asia, and
Africa during the past 10 years, with focus on particle extinction‐to‐backscatter ratios (lidar …

In this paper, data from spaceborne radar, lidar and infrared radiometers on the “A‐Train” of
satellites are combined in a variational algorithm to retrieve ice cloud properties. The …

Simulations of scattering and polarization properties for randomly oriented polyhedral ice
crystals are presented based on the geometric optics and the far-field diffraction …

Multiwavelength aerosol Raman lidar in combination with polarization lidar at Praia (14.9°
N, 23.5° W), Cape Verde, is used to separate the optical properties of desert dust and …

A method is proposed that permits one to retrieve physical parameters of tropospheric
particle size distributions, eg, effective radius, volume, surface-area, and number …

The particle linear depolarization ratio δp of Saharan dust, marine aerosols and mixtures of
biomass-burning aerosols from southern West Africa and Saharan dust was determined at …
