Development and application of a backscatter lidar forward operator for quantitative validation of aerosol dispersion models and future data assimilation
A new backscatter lidar forward operator was developed which is based on the distinct calculation of the aerosols' backscatter and extinction properties. The forward operator was adapted to the COSMO-ART ash dispersion simulation of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010. While the particle n...
