AEROSOL classification retrieval algorithms for EarthCARE/ATLID, CALIPSO/CALIOP, and ground-based lidars

摘要

Retrieving distributions of aerosol components from lidar measurements is useful for studying aerosol phenomena and the effects of aerosols on climate change and global and regional environment. It is especially useful for validating chemical transport models. In this paper, we describe aerosol component retrieval methods for ground-based lidars, and space-borne lidars CALIOP/CALIOP and EarthCARE/ATLID.
