Abstract

In this study, a multi-wavelength Raman-mie Lidar, and a 35 Ghz Radar are employed to measure the properties of aerosol and cloud. The extinction at 0.355μm and 0.532μm and backscattering at 0.355μm, 0.532μm and 1.064μm coefficients from lidar, and the effective reflectivity factor from radar are inversed for use. Furthermore, the quantities responsible for microphysics can be extracted and explained as the dimensionless values, such as the linear depolarization ratio, the color ratio, and the other ratios. Then these microphysical properties for aerosol and cloud during campaigns are analyzed for further use.
