TL;DR: In this article, the spread of mineral particles over southwestern, western, and central Europe resulting from a strong Saharan dust outbreak in October 2001 was observed at 10 stations of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET).

TL;DR: In this paper, 19 aerosol lidar systems from 11 European countries were compared and the results were compared for height and ranges with high and low aerosol content, and some systems were additionally compared with sunphotometers and starphotometers.

TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical analysis concerning the vertical distribution of the volume light extinction coefficients of particles derived from Raman lidar measurements at 10 EARLINET stations is presented, where the profiles were measured on a fixed schedule with up to two measurements per week; they typically covered the height range from 500 m to 6000 m above ground level (agl).

TL;DR: In the framework of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network to Establish an Aerosolsol Climatology (EARLINET), 19 aerosol lidar systems from 11 European countries were compared, although some had to be modified to improve their performance.

TL;DR: Aerosol extinction vertical profiles measured with Raman lidar in the framework of EARLINET in 2000 are compared to profiles modeled by a general circulation model, LMDzT-INCA, at seven stations in Europe.
