Investigation of aerosol optical properties in the European Arctic using Lidar remote sensing technique
Aerosol strongly affect the radiation balance, especially in the Arctic where climate change is significantly faster compared to lower latitudes. The interaction between aerosol and radiation can be either direct (scattering and absorption) or indirect (aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei a...

Aerosol strongly affect the radiation balance, especially in the Arctic where climate change is significantly faster compared to lower latitudes. The interaction between aerosol and radiation can be either direct (scattering and absorption) or indirect (aerosol serving as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nucleating particles). Aerosol optical properties can be provided by Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. In this study, we utilize data from a ground-based Lidar system located in Ny-Ålesund, Spitsbergen and an air-borne system installed onboard the research aircraft Polar5. Our focus is on a rare event of elevated aerosol layers, which persistently appeared over two different parts of the European Arctic during PAMARCMiP (Polar Air-borne Measurements and Arctic Regional Climate Model Simulation Project) campaign in spring 2018.
