Lidar observations of the regional transport and formation of aerosol fields in the background and urban areas

International audienceThe description of the apparatus and the results of synchronous observations of the structure of aerosol fields in urban areas and in background conditions are given. Continuous day and night observations were carried out by the modernized lidar CIMEL CE372 (the background experimental site) and the stationary lidar "LOZA-S" (Tomsk, Akademgorodok). The main task of the research is to determine the stratification characteristics of aerosol layers in different synoptic conditions and to show the city's contribution to the aerosol structure of the boundary layer
