EARLINET climatology (2000-2010)

EARLINET climatological lidar observations are performed on a regular

schedule of one daytime measurement per week around noon (on Monday), when the

boundary layer is usually well developed, and two night-time measurements per week

(on Monday and Thursday), with low background light, in order to perform Raman

extinction measurements. This regular schedule for observations minimizes the bias

in the dataset possibly related to specific measurement conditions. The resulting

dataset is used to obtain unbiased data for climatological studies.

This dataset contains profiles of aerosol extinction, backscatter and lidar ratio.

Several aerosol extinction/backscatter datasets can be present for the same

climatological measurement in order to provide profiles either with a better temporal

resolution or with an extended height range by using a larger temporal average.

This is by far the largest dataset on the aerosol vertical distribution, and it is

the only one which is collected systematically and is covering a whole continent.
