Some remarks about lidar data preprocessing and different implementations of the gradient method for determining the aerosol layers

<p>The determination of atmospheric aerosol layers from lidar returns is possible through automated algorithms. This product is useful, for example, in monitoring the Boundary Layer Height (BLH) as well as volcanic plumes. Aerosol layers are usually detected using the gradient method, i.e. by...
