TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of linear volume depolarization ratio profiles obtained by a depolarisation lidar in operation in Natal, Brazil, which is calibrated with a half-wave plate using the Δ90° methodology.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between measured and calculated values of longwave radiation with several analytical and empirical equations was carried out to check the aplicability of these equations to Granada conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a set of computer simulations were carried out to evaluate what light scattering parameters can be used to infer information regarding particle shape and concentration, and the results showed that their method can yield some information about layer profiling, such as the concentration of fine mode particles.

TL;DR: An extensive database of light scattering properties for nonspherical particles has been computed to help in the radiative-transfer calculations on atmospheric aerosols as mentioned in this paper, and a set of kernel functions database has also been calculated to simplify the modelling of polydisperse particle size distributions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed the synergetic use of remote sensing systems (microwave radiometer [ MWR ], Doppler lidar [ DL ] and elastic lidar[ EL ]) to analyze the PBL behavior.
