Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) can significantly harm human health and
increase the risk of death. Satellite remote sensing allows for generating spatially …

The collective representation within global models of aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and their
radiative properties remains unsatisfactory. They constitute the largest source of uncertainty …

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

We provide an overview of light detection and ranging (lidar) capability for describing and
characterizing desert dust. This paper summarizes lidar techniques, observations, and …

In this study we use a new dust product developed using CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar
and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation) observations and EARLINET (European …

We compared CALIPSO column aerosol optical depths at 0.532 μm to measurements at 147
AERONET sites, synchronized to within 30 min of satellite overpass times during a 3-yr …

With the establishment of ceilometer networks by national weather services, a discussion
commenced to which extent these simple backscatter lidars can be used for aerosol …

A combined lidar‐photometer method that permits the retrieval of vertical profiles of ash and
non‐ash (fine‐mode) particle mass concentrations is presented. By using a polarization …

Data products from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) on board
Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) were recently …

Multi-A**s Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) is a well-established
ground-based measurement technique for the detection of aerosols and trace gases …
