TL;DR: The European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) as discussed by the authors is the first aerosol lidar network, established in 2000, with the main goal to provide a comprehensive, quantitative, and statistically significant database for the aerosol distribution on a continental scale.

TL;DR: In this paper , the first ever measurements of wind with high temporal and vertical resolution throughout the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) over a medium-sized city surrounded by mountains in southern Spain have been gathered with a scanning Doppler lidar system and analyzed using the Halo lidar toolbox processing chain developed at the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on aerosol optical properties observed under this extreme Saharan dust outbreak through remote sensing (active and passive) techniques, and find that the optical properties are also stable with height in the dust layer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present observational evidence of the limitations of this simplifying assumption in cases where the aerosol vertical structure is highly inhomogeneous, and they compare the column-integrated and the modified ground-level aerosol size distributions using retrieved scale height values from a lidar extinction coefficient profiles.
