Raman Lidar Profiles Value-Added Product Moves to Production
The figure shows the aerosol extinction coefficient and its uncertainties at ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory on July 21, 2019. Gaps in our understanding of aerosols and their interactions and influence on clouds are among the main sources of energy balance uncertainties. To reduce these uncertainties in earth system models, continuous height-resolved measurements of…
