TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical profiles of the linear particle depolarization ratio of pure dust clouds were measured during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) at Ouarzazate, Morocco, close to source regions in May-June 2006, with four lidar systems at four wavelengths (355, 532, 710 and 1064 nm).

TL;DR: In this paper, three ground-based Raman lidars and an airborne high-spectral-resolution lidar were operated during SAMUM 2006 in southern Morocco to measure height profiles of the volume extinction coefficient, the extinction-to-backscatter ratio and the depolarization ratio of dust particles in the Saharan dust layer at several wavelengths.
