Combined lidar/sun-radiometer remote sensing technique for studying long range aerosol transport

Abstract

Lidar and sun-radiometer data of the EARLINET, CIS-LiNet and AERONET/PHOTONS stations in the East European area, space observations and local in-situ measurements were used to characterize long range aerosol transport over European regions. Brief description of technique and equipment for implementation of combined lidar and sun-radiometer approach to aerosol monitoring and results of five years observations are presented.
