GALION WS, 20-23 Sep 2010, Geneva Determination of aerosol components from multiwavelength/depolarization measurements Nobuo SUGIMOTO, Tomoaki Nishizawa, and Atsushi Shimizu National Institute for Environmental Studies nsugimot@nies.go.jp
Which parameter shall we compare with models? Lidar signal intensity (depolarization) S1 extinction coefficient distribution and characteristics of other aerosols assumption on external mixing dust extinction coefficient mass/extinction conversion factor optical characteristics of dust dust density Chemical Transport Model
Method for estimating contributions of dust and air pollution The mixing ratio of dust, R, can be estimated from the observed aerosol depolarization ratio, da. where d1 and d2 are depolarization ratio of dust and other aerosols. We used d1~0.35 and d2~0.05 empirically determined from the histogram of observed aerosol depolarization ratio. [Sugimote et al. 2003; Shimizu et al. 2004]
