  • A New Method for a Side-Scattering Lidar to Retrieve the Aerosol Backscattering Coefficient
    EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020
    Co-Authors: Zhenzhu Wang, Zongming Tao, Dong Liu, Chenbo Xie, Yingjian Wang
    Abstract:

    The side-scattering lidar based on the CCD camera is a powerful tool to measure the near- ground aerosol, which is most interesting for the environmental and meteorological departments. The inversion method for the side-scattering lidar is different from the conventional Fernald method due to the differences in two lidar equations. A new inversion method for the side-scattering lidar to retrieve the aerosol Backscattering Coefficient is proposed for the first time, which is based on the aerosol Backscattering Coefficient at the ground as a restriction condition. Numerical simulation is used to analyze the convergence of this new method. Case studies indicate that this new method is reasonable and feasible.REFERENCES

  • vertical distribution of near ground aerosol Backscattering Coefficient measured by a ccd side scattering lidar
    Applied Physics B, 2015
    Co-Authors: Zongming Tao, Dong Liu, Chenbo Xie, Yingjian Wang, Bo Shi, Huihui Shan, Ming Zhao
    Abstract:

    The near-ground aerosols have the most impact on the human beings. Its fine spatial and temporal distribution, with which the environmental and meteorological departments concern themselves most, has not been elaborated very well due to the unavailable measurement tools. We present the continuous observations of the vertical profile of near-ground aerosol Backscattering Coefficients by employing our self-developed side-scattering lidar system based on charge-coupled device camera. During the experimental period from April 2013 to August 2014, four catalogs of aerosol Backscattering Coefficient profiles are found in the near ground. The continuous measurement is revealed by the contour plots measured during the whole night. These experimental results indicate that the aerosol Backscattering Coefficients in near ground are inhomogeneous and vary with altitude and time, which are very useful for the model researchers to study the regional air pollution and its climate impact.

  • measurements of aerosol phase function and vertical Backscattering Coefficient using a charge coupled device side scatter lidar
    Optics Express, 2014
    Co-Authors: Zongming Tao, Zhenzhu Wang, Dong Liu, Chenbo Xie, Qingze Zhang, Yingjian Wang
    Abstract:

    By using a charge-coupled device (CCD) as the detector, side-scatter lidar has great potential applications in the near range atmospheric detection. A new inversion method is proposed for CCD side-scatter lidar (Clidar) to retrieve aerosol phase function and vertical Backscattering Coefficient. Case studies show the retrieved results from Clidar are in good agreements with those obtained from other instruments. It indicates that the new proposed inversion method is reliable and feasible and that the Clidar is practicable.
