The AMMA MULID network for aerosol characterization in West Africa
Three ground-based portable low power consumption micro lidars (MULID) have been built and deployed at three remote sites in Banizoumbou (Niger), Cinzana (Mali) and M'Bour (Senegal) in the framework of the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (AMMA) project for the characterization of aer...
