Direct comparison of extinction coefficients derived from Mie-scattering lidar and number concentrations of particles, subjective weather report in Japan
Highlights
- •Two components of extinction coefficient (dust and sphere) below 500 m are continuously retrieved by several lidars in Japan.
- •Number concentration of particles measured at the surface by OPC corresponded with dust/sphere extinction coefficients.
- •Kosa (Asian dust) reported at meteorological observatories sometimes do not suite with dust extinction coefficient by lidar.
- •Report of En׳mu (haze) and period of higher spherical extinction coefficient were well corresponded.

Investigate the relationship between multiwavelength lidar ratios and aerosol size distributions using aerodynamic particle sizer spectrometer
2017, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative TransferCitation Excerpt :Therefore, it is important to find out the relationship between the lidar ratio and the aerosol size distribution and the wavelength of the incident light. Several studies have been conducted to determine the relationship between the aerosol optical properties and the microphysical properties of the aerosols [17–20]. However the relationship between the multiwavelength lidar ratio and the aerosol size distribution and the wavelength dependency of the lidar ratio has not been discussed in the above papers.

2015, Atmospheric EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :For Beijing and Banyu on the other hand, larger underestimation should be attributed to the impacts of dust storm. Spring time dust storm from Taklimakan and Gobi desert in EA have been demonstrated by many studies to have dominant impact on the elevated PM10 levels over north part of China and the influence can reach oversea to Japan (Onishi et al., 2012; Shimizu et al., 2014; Watanabe et al., 2014). Table 2 suggested that 2006 and 2010 had the largest underestimated PM10 for EA, which were also the two years with most frequent dust storms during this period (Yang et al., 2013).
