Statistical analysis of the spatial-temporal distribution of aerosol extinction retrieved by micro-pulse lidar in Kashgar, China

Abstract: The spatial-temporal distribution of dust aerosol is important in climate model and ecological environment. An observation experiment of the aerosol vertical distribution in the low troposphere was made using the micro-pulse lidar system from Sept. 2008 to Aug. 2009 at the oasis city Kashgar, China, which is near the major dust source area of the Taklimakan desert. The monthly averaged temporal variation of aerosol extinction profiles are given in the paper. The profile of aerosol extinction coefficient sugges… Show more

“…The altitudes of the trajectories over the Taklimakan Desert ranged from 3.5 to 5.0 km. Zhu et al (2013) observed that dust could be vertically transported from the surface to altitudes above 5 km in Kashgar, China, which is near the Taklimakan Desert. This altitude seems to be an essential requirement for dust to escape from terrain confinement and initiate long-range transport (Sun et al, 2001 Figure 6.…”

“…Zhu et al . [] studied the spatial‐temporal distribution of dust aerosol in the low troposphere using the micropulse lidar at the oasis city Kashgar, China. However, knowledge on the combined optical‐microphysical properties of tropospheric aerosol particles of different origin (i.e., biomass burning, forest fires and urban activities, long‐range transported, etc.)…”

“…In Aksu (northwestern Taklimakan Desert), a large amount of dust particles was uplifted: the removal process was observed during the whole dust event via polarization-sensitive lidar [29,30], and the dust layer structure was validated via Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) [31] and ground-based lidar [32]. The temporal-spatial distribution of the aerosol extinction coefficient was retrieved via micropulse lidar (MPL) from September 2008 to August 2009 at the oasis city Kashgar in the western Taklimakan Desert [33]. The characteristics of the vertical profiles and the long-range transport of the dust were measured over the Loess Plateau using the MPL system [34,35].…”
