In this article, the authors performed intensively over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) during the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano (Iceland) in April-May 2010.Abstract:
. Lidar and sun-photometer measurements were performed intensively over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) during the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano (Iceland) in April–May 2010. The volcanic plume reached all the IP stations for the first time on 5 May 2010. A thorough study of the event was conducted for the period 5–8 May. Firstly, the spatial and temporal evolution of the plume was described by means of lidar and sun-photometer measurements supported with backtrajectories. The volcanic aerosol layers observed over the IP were rather thin (read more

TL;DR: In this article, multi-wavelength Raman light detection and ranging (lidar) observations were analyzed, which were performed in Evora, Portugal, during more than 2 years on a regular basis in the framework of the European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) in order to characterize aerosol characterization in terms of the lidar ratios at 355 and 532 nm and the extinction and backscatter related Angstrom exponents.

TL;DR: The presented algorithm has proven to be highly versatile as it adapts to changes in the size of the training dataset and the number of aerosol classes and classifying parameters and is extremely suitable for the implementation within the single calculus chain (SCC), the EARLINET centralized processing suite.
