Separate retrieval of microphysical characteristics in aerosol fractions from laser sensing data

Use of lidar signals of Raman scattering for retrieval of aerosol microphysical characteristics

“…is correct, the proposed procedure gives an admissible estimation of U(r) at r min < r < r max , both in the case of a known refractive index and its reconstruction [25,26].…”

“…over on the entire plane of physically justified values (m real , m image ) [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In [25], the authors discussed a possibility of a simultaneous determination of microphysical characteristics of the mode-averaged CRI to an approximation of m fine ≈ m coarse .…”

“…In [25], the authors discussed a possibility of a simultaneous determination of microphysical characteristics of the mode-averaged CRI to an approximation of m fine ≈ m coarse . The focus [26] has been on designing an approach to reconstructing the mode-separated CRI and the bimodal SDF taking into account various errors in the case where m fine ≠ m coarse . The potentials and limitations of retrieving the microphysical characteristics have been studied on a basis the (3β + 2σ + 1d POL (532 nm)) system in Tomsk (56 °N, 85 °E) [11].…”

“…and 2 illustrate the percentage error of the parameters corresponding to the retrieved SDF, simultaneously taking into consideration the determined (left) or pre-assigned (right) CRI. In the calculations of optical coefficients (direct problem), the following values were used: a) fixed m fine , b) empirical U true (r)[25,26]. The selected models allow including the influence of the dominating mode on the values of ΔV fine and ΔV coarse .…”

Separate retrieval of microphysical parameters in aerosol fraction from the lidar data

“…In [49], a possibility of a separate fraction-wise assessment of m + U(r) is studied for weakly absorbing particles for m image < 0.015, when m fine ≠ m coarse holds. The ambiguity of m mean stems from a difference of the real part of the sought-for m fine and m coarse : when…”
