Study on aerosol properties over Madrid (Spain) by multiple instrumentation during SPALI10 lidar campaign

摘要

Four. co‐located. multiwavelength. Raman. lidar. systems. (Madrid,. Granada,. Barcelona. and. Evora). measured. simultaneously. to. a. reference. system. (Potenza). in. order. to. assess. their. performances. during.the.intercomparison.campaign:.SPALI10,.(SPAin.Lidar.Intercomparison.2010).that.took.place. in. Madrid. from. 18. October. to. 5. November. 2010.. Multiwavelength. Raman. lidar. systems. provide. relevant.vertically‐resolved.characteristics. of.aerosol. optical.properties..The.products.provided.by. the.lidar.systems.were.compared.with.ancillary.data..At.ground.level,.aerosol.size.distributions.were. continuously. monitored.. Additionally,. the. column. integrated. characterization. of. the. atmospheric. aerosol. was. performed. by. means. of. a. sun. photometer.. The. extensive. dataset. obtained. during. SPALI10.field.campaign.enables.to.compare.ground‐level.in.situ.measurements.with.remote.sensing. techniques.to.determine.vertically‐resolved.optical.and.microphysical.properties.of.aerosols..Several. relevant.features.shown.in.the.comparison.of.the.results.obtained.by.the. different. instruments.are. discussed.in.this.work..
