Slide 1
Lidar remote sensing for the characterization of the
atmospheric aerosol on local and large spatial scale
Slide 2
Atmospheric aerosol What are THEY and why are THEY so
important? Minute particles suspended in the atmosphere Aerosols
interact both directly and indirectly with the Earths radiation
budget and climate Aerosols reflect or absorb sunlight Aerosols
modify the size of cloud particles, changing how the clouds reflect
and absorb sunlight WHAT ABOUT THE ESTIMATION OF THEIR EFFECTS?
