Under the background of global climate change, the frequency of extreme weather events is
ever-increasing. Climatic anomaly in dust source areas and intensive Mongolian cyclones …

The vertical structure of dust properties in desert sources is crucial for evaluating their long-
range transportation and radiative forcing. To investigate vertical profiles of dust optical …

In recent years, climate change and the intervention of anthropogenic activities have altered
the seasonal features of Asian dust storms. This may also cause seasonal variations …

The vertical profiles of aerosol or mixed-phase cloud optical properties (eg extinction
coefficient) at 1064? nm are difficult to obtain from lidar observations. Based on the …

Cirrus clouds related to transported dust layers were identified on 22 occasions with ground-
based polarization lidar from December 2012 to February 2018 over Wuhan (30.5° N …

Extreme weather events are happening more frequently as a result of global climate change.
Dust storms broke out in the spring of 2017 in China and drastically impacted the local air …

Aerosol–cloud interactions (ACIs) are the largest contributor to the uncertainty in the global
radiation budget. To improve the current consideration of ACIs in global circulation models, it …

The POLIPHON (polarization lidar photometer networking) method is a powerful pathway to
retrieve the height profiles of dust-related particle mass and ice-nucleating particle (INP) …

Dust aerosols can participate in the heterogeneous nucleation process as effective ice
nucleation particles, thus changing the physical properties of clouds. In this paper, we used …

Cirrus clouds are of great importance to the global climate, with their net radiative forcing
strongly dependent on the microphysical properties that are related to the ice‐nucleating …
