Optical properties of atmospheric aerosol from shipborne multiwavelength lidar measurements during the 2015 Yellow Sea Experiment

摘要

High spatial, temporal resolution and continuous measurement of atmospheric aerosols over ocean is very important to understand their role in the atmospheric processes as well as on human health and environment. A shipborne multiwavelength lidar system for aerosol and clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere was developed. We then conducted twice shipborne measurements onboard the vessel XIANGYANGHONG No. 8 (X8) over the Yellow Sea of China on May and September in 2015, respectively. In this paper, the optical properties of aerosol together with 180-hour continuous measurement during the 2015 Yellow Sea Experiment (2015-YSE) are presented.
