  6. Purpose of the lidar network observations • Climatology of aerosols and clouds • To understand aerosol phenomena including effects of Asian dust and anthropogenic aerosols on the environment and climate • To validate chemical transport models • Monitoring of Asian dust and anthropogenic aerosols in the regional and global scales

  17. Chemical Forecast System (CFORS)

  18. Which parameter shall we compare? 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

  19. Ratio of dust is estimated by the following equations when we consider external mixture of dust and other spherical aerosols. R={(1-d2’)d-d2’}/{(d1’-d2’)(1+d)}……………………..(1)d1’＝d1/(1+d1） ………………………(2)d2’＝d2/(1+d2） ………………………(3)where d1 is depolarization ratio of dust, and d2 is depolarization ratio of other aerosols. Empirically, d1~0.35, d2~0.05.

  28. Summary We conducted continuous observations in Beijing, Nagasaki, and Tsukuba with automated polarization lidars since March 2001. A statistical analysis showed that the frequency of dust events in 2002 and 2001 was not very different in Beijing, but the frequency was much higher in 2002 in Tsukuba. We studied the dust source regions and transport paths using the regional chemical transport model CFORS. The results showed that most major dust events originated in Inner Mongolia and/or Mongolia. The dust was transported rapidly with the strong westerly of the storm, and the main part was transported northeast near the coast of China. In 2002, the location of dust streams were shifted slightly to the east, and this caused heavy dust events in Korea and northern Japan. This is probably related with the climate change.
