Optical and geometrical properties of cirrus clouds in Amazonia derived from 1 year of ground-based lidar measurements

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the first comprehensive statistics of optical and geometrical properties of upper-tropospheric cirrus clouds in Amazonia using 1 year (July 2011 to June 2012) of ground-based lidar atmospheric observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tropospheric and stratospheric wildfire smoke profiling with lidar: mass, surface area, CCN, and INP retrieval

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present retrievals of tropospheric and stratospheric height profiles of particle mass, volume, surface area, and number concentrations in the case of wildfire smoke layers as well as estimates of smoke-related cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice-nucleating particle (INP) concentrations from backscatter lidar measurements on the ground and in space.
Journal ArticleDOI

A permanent Raman lidar station in the Amazon: description, characterization, and first results

TL;DR: In this article, a permanent UV Raman lidar station, designed to perform continuous measurements of aerosols and water vapor and aiming to study and monitor the atmosphere from weather to climatic time scales, became operational in the central Amazon in July 2011.
