THE USE OF A MULTIWAVELENGTH LIDAR TO DETECT AEROSOL LAYERS IN THE ATMOSPHERE

Ferdinando De Tomasi, Maria Rita Perrone
  • Abstract:
    The peculiarity of lidar systems is to provide vertical profiles of aerosol extinction and backscattering coefficients, which allow getting information on aerosol optical properties and their dependence on altitude. We analyze in this paper a case study in which lidar signals have allowed detecting different atmospheric aerosol layers from the boundary layer up to the stratosphere. Results on the dependence of aerosol optical properties on altitude will also be presented.
