Lidar plays an essential role in monitoring the vertical variation of atmospheric aerosols. However, due to the limited information that lidar measurements provide, ill-posedness still remains a big challenge in quantitative lidar remote sensing. In this

Synergy of active and passive airborne observations for heating rate calculation during the AEROCLO-sA field campaign in Namibia [PDF]
Aerosols have important effects on both local and global climate, as well as on clouds and precipitations. We present original results derived from the airborne observations acquired from the AErosol RadiatiOn and CLOud in Southern Africa (AEROCLO-sA ...

Variability in lidar-derived particle properties over West Africa due to changes in absorption: towards an understanding [PDF]
Measurements performed in western Africa (Senegal) during the SHADOW field campaign are analyzed to show that spectral dependence of the imaginary part of the complex refractive index (CRI) of dust can be revealed by lidar-measured particle parameters ...

Satellite inference of water vapour and above-cloud aerosol combined effect on radiative budget and cloud-top processes in the southeastern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Aerosols have a direct effect on the Earth's radiative budget and can also affect cloud development and lifetime, and the aerosols above clouds (AAC) are particularly associated with high uncertainties in global climate models.

The characterization of long-range transported North American biomass burning plumes: what can a multi-wavelength Mie–Raman-polarization-fluorescence lidar provide? [PDF]
This article presents a study of long-range transported biomass burning aerosols (BBA) originated from the North American wildfires in September 2020. The BBA plumes presented in this study were in the troposphere and underwent 1–2 weeks of aging before ...
