4Why remote sensing?Modelers needs accurate measured data in order to:Improve the outputVerifyValidateAssimilate (initialize)
Atmosphere = 4D variable system (3D space + 1D time )High-resolution 4D data!5/29/20145Instruments and methodologySunphotometer (AERONET, integrated column)Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (in situ)Average mass concentration for Organics, Sulfate, Ammonium, Nitrate, Chloride (Mass range distribution of aerosols up to 800 m/z)Aerodynamic size distribution of aerosols
6Multiwavelength depolarization lidar-RALI3 elastic channels (1064, 532, 355nm)+ 2 Raman channels (607, 387nm) + depolarization (532nm)Range: 0.85 ... 15Km (depending on the atmosphere)
