Velazquez-Blazquez,Ulla Wandinger,Tobias Wehr,G.-J. van Zadelhoff +28 more
TL;DR: The EarthCARE satellite mission as discussed by the authors provides global profiles of cloud, aerosol, precipitation, and associated radiative properties inferred from a combination of measurements made by collocated active and passive sensors.

Lidar network observations of tropospheric aerosols
Nobuo Sugimoto,Ichiro Matsui,Atsushi Shimizu,Tomoaki Nishizawa,Yukari Hara,Chenbo Xie,Itsushi Uno,Keiya Yumimoto,Zifa Wang,Soon-Chang Yoon +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a network of two-wavelength (1064nm, 532nm) polarization (532 nm) lidars is used for real-time monitoring of Asian dust as well as in the studies of regional air pollution and climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of a lidar network for tropospheric aerosol detection in East Asia
Atsushi Shimizu,Tomoaki Nishizawa,Yoshitaka Jin,Sang Woo Kim,Zifa Wang,Dashdondog Batdorj,Nobuo Sugimoto +6 more
TL;DR: A regional elastic-scattering lidar network called Asian dust and aerosol lidar observation network (AD-Net) has operated for 15 years (since 2001) in East Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vertical cloud structure observed from shipborne radar and lidar: Midlatitude case study during the MR01/K02 cruise of the research vessel Mirai
Hajime Okamoto,Tomoaki Nishizawa,Toshihiko Takemura,Hiroshi Kumagai,Hiroshi Kuroiwa,Nobuo Sugimoto,Ichiro Matsui,Atsushi Shimizu,Seita Emori,Akihide Kamei,Teruyuki Nakajima +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed the vertical distribution of clouds over the Pacific Ocean near Japan in May 2001 using lidar and a 95 GHz radar on the Research Vessel Mirai.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time observational evidence of changing Asian dust morphology with the mixing of heavy anthropogenic pollution
Xiaole Pan,Xiaole Pan,Itsushi Uno,Zhe Wang,Zhe Wang,Tomoaki Nishizawa,Nobuo Sugimoto,Shigekazu Yamamoto,Hiroshi Kobayashi,Yele Sun,Pingqing Fu,Xiao Tang,Zifa Wang +12 more
TL;DR: A newly developed, single-particle polarization detector is used and the evolution of the polarization property of backscattering light reflected from dust particle as they were mixing with anthropogenic pollutants in North China is investigated to investigate the decrease in observed depolarization ratio.
