Network observations of Asian dust and air pollution aerosols are being performed in the East Asian region using automated two-wavelength (1064 nm, 532 nm) polarization (532 nm) lidars. At present, the lidars are continuously operated at 20 locations including cooperative observation sites, in Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia and Thailand. The data from the network are transferred to the data center...
Continuous observations of Asian dust are performed with a network of two-wavelength Mie-scattering lidars. The data are used for validation/assimilation of dust transport models. A polarization lidar using two wavelengths, and a Raman lidar detecting quartz contained in dust particles were newly developed for studying characteristics of Asian dust.
We present a lidar method that enables the determination of quartz concentration in mineral aerosols. The method combines the Raman scattering lidar using a 466 cm-1 quartz line with a high-spectral resolution lidar (HSRL). The methodology and experimental results are described.
The paper presents results from differential absorption lidar (DIAL) observations of the vertical profiles of ozone, aerosols, and temperature at the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) in Tsukuba (36degN, 140degE), Japan. Currently, the lidar system uses 308/355 nm (DIAL) for lower stratospheric ozone measurements. The 355 nm is also used for aerosol measurements. The lidar system...
