Estimated desert-dust ice nuclei profiles from polarization lidar: methodology and case studies
A lidar method is presented that permits the estimation of height profiles of ice nuclei concentrations (INC) in desert dust layers. The polarization lidar technique is applied to separate dust and non-dust backscatter and extinction coefficients. The desert dust extinction coefficients σ&...
