Abstract: A Mie scattering lidar was operated at Alert, NWT, Canada, for 9 weeks for the winter of 1984/85 in order to determine vertical profiles of Arctic haze. During the study period, the strong sulphate aerosol concentration ...

Abstract: A new method is presented for the extraction of mixed layer depth and entrainment zone thickness from lidar, backscatter ratio profiles. The method is based on fitting a four parameter, idealized profile to observed profiles. ...

Abstract: Measurements spanning much of the particle size spectrum were made on the surface aerosol arriving at Igloolik, Northwest Territories, Canada during late February 1982. Vertical profiles of aerosol particle concentration ...

Abstract: NOAA?s operational geostationary satellite retrievals of aerosol optical depths (AODs) were used to verify National Weather Service developmental (research mode) particulate matter (PM2.5) predictions tested during the ...

Abstract: The Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE) is being developed by NASA/Langley Research Center for a series of flights on the space shuttle beginning in 1994. Employing a three-wave-length Nd:YAG laser and a 1-m-diameter ...

Abstract: Aerosols and clouds have important effects on Earth's climate through their effects on the radiation budget and the cycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Limitations in our understanding of the global ...
