Characterization of aerosol properties during a huge transatlantic smoke transport event using Aeolus observations in synergy with multi-platform data
During the wildfire season on the West Coast of the US in September 2020, biomass burning smoke aerosols were continually generated, resulting in several transatlantic transport events. As a high spectral resolution lidar (HSRL), ALADIN could directly retrieve the aerosol extinction and backscatter coefficient. Targe...
