研究目的
Investigating the potential of polarization/Raman lidar to separate fine dust, coarse dust, maritime, and anthropogenic aerosol profiles.
研究成果
The study demonstrated the compatibility and consistency of the traditional one-step and advanced two-step POLIPHON techniques for separating dust and non-dust aerosol components. The 532 nm polarization lidar was identified as the most robust and accurate for retrieving fine and coarse dust profiles. The methodology provides valuable insights into aerosol properties and their impact on climate and environmental conditions, supporting atmospheric modeling and dust forecasting efforts.
研究不足
The study's limitations include the need for accurate depolarization ratios and lidar ratios for fine and coarse dust at different wavelengths, potential uncertainties in the 355 nm particle depolarization ratios, and the assumption of height-independent dust size distribution characteristics for some analyses.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized the POLIPHON technique for the first time with triple-wavelength polarization lidar measurements at 355, 532, and 1064 nm during the SALTRACE experiment. The method separates dust and non-dust backscatter contributions and further divides dust into fine and coarse fractions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Lidar observations were performed at Barbados in the summer of 2014, focusing on Saharan dust layers. AERONET sun photometer data were used for correlation studies between particle extinction coefficient and volume concentration.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The BERTHA lidar system was used for multiwavelength polarization/Raman lidar measurements.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involved measuring particle linear depolarization ratios and backscatter coefficients, applying the POLIPHON method to separate aerosol components, and converting optical properties to mass concentrations using extinction-to-volume conversion factors.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis included comparing one-step and two-step POLIPHON methods, using Raman lidar for particle extinction profiling, and applying AERONET data for conversion factors.
