Interest in stratospheric aerosol and its role in climate have increased over the last decade
due to the observed increase in stratospheric aerosol since 2000 and the potential for …

The understanding of soot formation in combustion processes and the optimization of
practical combustion systems require in situ measurement techniques that can provide …

Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) in the atmosphere contains many compounds that
absorb solar radiation, called brown carbon (BrC). While BBOA is in the atmosphere, BrC …

We present spectrally resolved optical and microphysical properties of western Canadian
wildfire smoke observed in a tropospheric layer from 5–6.5 km height and in a stratospheric …

North Africa is the world's largest source of dust, a large part of which is transported across
the Atlantic to the Caribbean and beyond where it can impact radiation and clouds. Many …

Abstract Biomass burning emits~ 34–41 Tg yr− 1 of smoke aerosol to the atmosphere.
Biomass burning aerosol directly influences the Earth's climate by attenuation of solar and …

Linear particle depolarization ratio is presented for three case studies from the NASA
Langley airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar-2 (HSRL-2). Particle depolarization ratio …

A reliable assessment of the optical properties of atmospheric black carbon is of crucial
importance for an accurate estimation of radiative forcing. In this study we investigated the …

Light extinction coefficients of 500 Mm-1, about 20 times higher than after the Pinatubo
volcanic eruptions in 1991, were observed by European Aerosol Research Lidar Network …

Six months of stratospheric aerosol observations with the European Aerosol Research Lidar
Network (EARLINET) from August 2017 to January 2018 are presented. The decay phase of …
