Carlos Toledano,Benjamin Torres,Cristian Velasco-Merino,Dietrich Althausen,Silke Groß,Matthias Wiegner,Bernadett Weinzierl,Josef Gasteiger,Albert Ansmann,Ramiro González,David Mateos,David Farrel,Thomas Müller,Moritz Haarig,Victoria E. Cachorro +14 more
TL;DR: The Saharan aerosol long-range transport and aerosol-cloud interaction experiment (SALTRACE) was devoted to the investigation of Saharan dust properties over the Caribbean.
Book ChapterDOI
Cirrus Measurements from a Spaceborne Lidar: Influence of Multiple Scattering
Matthias Wiegner,Ulrich G. Oppel,Heike Krasting,Wolfgang Renger,Christoph Kiemle,Martin Wirth +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, two very fast inversion schemes for backscatter lidar returns which consider multiple scattering are applied to LITE measurements of cirrus clouds and the retrieved extinction coefficients are used as input for an exact Monte Carlo model to simulate lidar measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Dust Events Using Doppler Lidar and Ceilometer in Iceland
Shu Yang,Jana Preißler,Matthias Wiegner,Sibylle von Löwis,Guðrún Nína Petersen,Michelle Maree Parks,David C. Finger +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of Doppler wind lidars with depolarization channels, ceilometers, and other instruments was used to monitor two dust events that occurred in Iceland during summer 2019.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ice crystal characterization in cirrus clouds: a sun-tracking camera system and automated detection algorithm for halo displays
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel sun-tracking camera system for the automated observation of halo displays is presented, called HaloCam, which can be extended to other halo types as well.
Saharan Dust Outbreaks Towards Europe: 3 Years of Systematic Observations by the European LIDAR Network in the Frame of the Earlinet Project (2000-2003)
Alex Papayannis,Matthias Alpers,Dimitris Balis,Jens Bösenberg,Anatoli Chaikovsky,Ferdinando De Tomasi,Aarne Haagaard,Volker Matthias,Ina Mattis,Valentin Mitev,Slobodan Nickovic,Gelsomina Pappalardo,Jacques Pelon,Carlos Pérez,Gianluca Pisani,Sylwester Puchalski,Dimitar Stoyanov,Vincenzo Rizi,Laurent Sauvage,Valentin Simeonov,Thomas Trickl,Geraint Vaughan,Matthias Wiegner,Anna D. Castahno +23 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-year period (2000-2003) of 90 Saharan dust outbreaks over Europe were monitored by a coordinated aerosol lidar network in the frame of the EARLINET project.
