Elastic backscatter lidar is an established method useful to characterize the particles forming
an atmospheric aerosol. Fundamental to lidar measurements are the extinction and …

The optical properties of atmospheric black carbon (BC) aerosols are needed to model the
direct radiative forcing of the climate system, as well as for interpreting and assimilating …

Fractal aggregate model has shown significant superiority in simulating integral optical
properties (like optical cross sections etc.) of soot aerosol. In this study, angular distributions …

The modeling of radiative properties of soot particles can be addressed by a number of
methods. Among them, the canonical Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) theory and the …

The aim of this article is to present a novel lidar technique, based on supercontinuum laser
sources, for aerosol remote sensing. Precisely, we show the feasibility of such …

This study presents the averaged lidar-relevant radiative properties of numerically
generated soot fractal aggregate ensembles. The radiative properties of these aggregates …

Lidar is effective in retrieving size distribution of atmospheric particles such as soot aerosols
in real-time based on Mie scattering theory. However, the fundamental spherical shape …

Particles within aggregates are commonly in a status of dependent scattering due to the
near-field multiple scattering and far-field interferences from neighboring particles. The …

In this paper, a controlled-laboratory experiment is carried out to evaluate the lidar
depolarization ratio of freshly emitted soot aggregates in the exact backward scattering …

In this paper, a new elastic lidar inversion equation is presented. It is based on the
backscattering signal from a surface reference target (SRT) rather than that from a volumetric …
