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.

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.
