New mobile lidar for the measurement of tropospheric aerosol new mobile lidar for the measurement of tropospheric aerosol

A new mobile lidar system has been developed for measuring tropospheric aerosol. Its main structure and specification as well as lidar data processing method are described. The results of measurement over Hefei city show that this lidar has ability to gain profiles of tropospheric aerosol day and night, and to manifest aerosol temporal and spatial distributions with high precision.
