| Zusammenfassung |
| During four aircraft field experiments with the DLR research aircraft Falcon
in 1998 (LACE), 2006 (SAMUM-1) and 2008 (SAMUM-2 and EUCAARI), airborne High
Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) and in situ measurements of aerosol
microphysical and optical properties were performed. Altogether, the
properties of six different aerosol types and aerosol mixtures – Saharan
mineral dust, Saharan dust mixtures, Canadian biomass burning aerosol,
African biomass burning mixture, anthropogenic pollution aerosol, and marine
aerosol have been studied. On the basis of this extensive HSRL data set, we
present an aerosol classification scheme which is also capable to identify
mixtures of different aerosol types. We calculated mixing lines that allowed
us to determine the contributing aerosol types. The aerosol classification
scheme was supported by backward trajectory analysis and validated with
in-situ measurements. Our results demonstrate that the developed aerosol
mask is capable to identify complex stratifications with different aerosol
types throughout the atmosphere. |
