Journal ArticleDOI
Dimensionless parameterization of lidar for laser remote sensing of the atmosphere and its application to systems with SiPM and PMT detectors
TL;DR: A renewed approach to the generalized methodology for atmospheric lidar assessment, which uses the dimensionless parameterization as a core component is shown, which provides a generalized, uniform, and objective approach for evaluation of a broad range of lidar types and systems operating on different targets and under intense sky background conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a field lens for improving the overlap function of a lidar system employing an optical fiber in the receiver assembly.
TL;DR: The application of the method developed in this paper shows that, in spite of the fiber NA limit, in practical situations the goal is attained of making the overlap function steeper and reaching higher values by using a field lens.
Journal ArticleDOI
An EARLINET Early Warning System for atmospheric aerosol aviation hazards
Nikolaos Papagiannopoulos,Giuseppe D'Amico,Anna Gialitaki,Nicolae Ajtai,Lucas Alados-Arboledas,Aldo Amodeo,Vassilis Amiridis,Holger Baars,Dimitris Balis,Ioannis Binietoglou,Adolfo Comerón,Davide Dionisi,Alfredo Falconieri,Patrick Fréville,Anna Kampouri,Inna Mattis,Zoran Mijić,Francisco Molero,Alex Papayannis,Gelsomina Pappalardo,Alejandro Rodríguez-Gómez,Stavros Solomos,Lucia Mona +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a stand-alone lidar-based method for detecting airborne hazards for aviation in near-real-time (NRT) is presented, where a polarization lidar allows for the identification of irregular-shaped particles such as volcanic dust and desert dust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of long path spherical wave propagation in three-dimensional random media
TL;DR: In this article, a method to overcome the windowing effect associated with Cartesian coordinates and the loss of resolution accompanying spherical coordinates by using a spherical-coordinate algorithm and per-forming repeated interpolations of the numerically propagated field be- fore the mesh grows too large to sample the field accurately.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a first statistical analysis of the aerosol vertical distribution on European scale during Saharan dust outbreaks, has been performed, highlighting the fundamental role that EARLINET can have for the study of impact of Saharan Dust on European scales.
