Determination of Macro- and Microphysical Characteristics of Aerosol Spatial Inhomogeneities in the Lower Part of the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer from the Backscattered Lidar Signal (the Direct and Inverse Problem)

摘要

The present work is concentrated on studying the aerosol spatial and temporal structure in LP MABL with the use of the database of the unique complex Hawaii experiment SEAS (Shoreline Environment Aerosol Study). By performing a simultaneous analysis of SEAS lidar and nephelometer observations, direct measurements of the aerosol particle size distribution (APSD), and environmental data, and by interpreting the results in terms of the aerosol optical properties, we seek a thorough understanding of the radiative transmittance in LP MABL.
