DeLiAn – a growing collection of depolarization ratio, lidar ratio and Ångström exponent for different aerosol types and mixtures from ground-based lidar observations

Abstract: Abstract. This paper presents a collection of lidar-derived aerosol intensive optical properties for several aerosol types, namely the particle linear depolarization ratio, the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) and the Ångström exponent. The data collection, named DeLiAn, is based on globally distributed, long-term, ground-based, multiwavelength, Raman and polarisation lidar measurements, conducted mainly with lidars that have been developed at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research. The i… Show more

“…A fixed lidar ratio of 44 sr is used to convert the measured dust attenuated backscatter coefficient profiles to extinction coefficient profiles (Kim et al, 2018, Young et al, 2018. This lidar ratio value is in agreement with the averaged ground-based lidar ratio measurements for desert dust, recently reported by (Floutsi et al, 2022), despite the regional dependence. L2 data are averaged and quality controlled to produce the L3 product, which provides monthly mean extinction profiles as a function of aerosol type (Tackett et al, 2018).…”

“…Through the sum of these signals, the profile of 'pure-dust' backscatter coefficient at 532 nm. A region-specific lidar ratio (see supplement for values) is then used to calculate 'pure-dust' extinction coefficient profiles from the backscatter coefficient profiles (Amiridis et al, 2015;Marinou et al, 2017;Proestakis et al, 2018;Floutsi et al, 2022). Here we use the LIVAS 'pure dust extinction coefficient product' for cloud-free, night-time cases, on an identical 2°×5° grid to match the CALIOP L3 data, for the years 2007 to 2019.…”

“…but are all in the standard deviation ranges. According toBohlmann et al (2018),Groß et al (2011),Groß et al (2015), andFloutsi et al (2022), the pure mar LR at 355 nm can vary from 10 sr to 40 sr, with the average of around 20 sr, thus it is considered that the averaged mar LR in this study are reasonable. At the middle wind speed range (marine aerosol particles might be broken up into smaller ones with a wind speed increase At the very high wind speed (>16 1 ms −  ) above the SP area and the SI area, the marine aerosol particle size variations turn out to a stable state along with the wind speed.…”
