Article Description

The vertical aerosol extinction coefficient profile is the key to evaluating the aerosol radiation effect. In addition, it is also the premise of indirect inversion of PM concentration from the lidar signal. A novel lidar system combining tripe charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras and backscatter lidar is proposed to retrieve accurately the aerosol extinction coefficient. The relative humidity segmentation method is used to convert the aerosol extinction coefficient into PM concentrations. The results show that the combination of triple CCDs and backscatter lidar can obtain a wider-range extinction coefficient profile. The variation trend of fitted PM concentrations and PM concentrations measured by the in situ instrument show a high correlation. The correlation coefficient reaches 0.850.
