| Zusammenfassung |
| We describe an airborne lidar for the characterization of atmospheric
aerosol. The system has been set up in response to the need to monitor
extended regions where the air traffic may be posed at risk by the presence
of potentially harmful volcanic ash, and to study the characteristics of
volcanic emissions both near the source region and when transported over
large distances. The lidar provides backscatter and linear depolarization
profiles at 532 nm, from which aerosol and cloud properties can be derived.
The paper presents the characteristics and capabilities of the lidar system
and gives examples of its airborne deployment. Observations from three
flights, aimed at assessing the system capabilities in unperturbed
atmospheric conditions, and at characterizing the emissions near a volcanic
ash source (Mt. Etna) and transported far away from the source, are
presented and discussed. |
