Polarimetry is one of the most promising types of remote sensing for improved
characterization of atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly …

Mineral dust particles suspended in the atmosphere span more than three orders of
magnitude in diameter, from< 0.1 µm to more than 100 µm. This wide size range makes dust …

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 …

Aerosol forcing uncertainty represents the largest climate forcing uncertainty overall. Its
magnitude has remained virtually undiminished over the past 20 years despite considerable …

Monitoring and describing the spatiotemporal variability in dust aerosols is crucial for
understanding their multiple effects, related feedbacks, and impacts within the Earth system …

This paper provides a model for assessing the effects of polarising optics on the signals of
typical lidar systems, which is based on the description of the individual optical elements of …

We applied the recently introduced polarization lidar–photometer networking (POLIPHON)
technique for the first time to triple-wavelength polarization lidar measurements at 355, 532 …

Long-range-transported Canadian smoke layers in the stratosphere over northern France
were detected by three lidar systems in August 2017. The peaked optical depth of the …

An advanced multiwavelength polarization Raman lidar was operated aboard the
icebreaker Polarstern during the MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study …

We present retrievals of tropospheric and stratospheric height profiles of particle mass,
volume, and surface area concentrations in the case of wildfire smoke layers as well as …
