Lidar Measurements from 16th April 2010

 

Leosphere Aerosol Lidar - Cardington

(scroll down or click here for Elight Aerosol and Ozone Lidar or here for Water Vapour Lidar measurements)

 

Figure 1: Plot showing how much of transmitted light is reflected back (multiplied by height-squared)

 

Figure 2: Plot showing where aerosol is reflecting light (backscatter ratio)

 

Figure 3: Plot showing depolarisation ratio. This indicates the shape of the particles (the higher the ratio the more irregularly-shaped they are).

 

Elight Aerosol and Ozone Lidar - Aberystwyth

 

Figure 4: Plot showing backscatter ratio (with similar colour scale to Figure 2)

 

Figure 5: As Figure 4 but for the whole day.

Water Vapour Lidar - Aberystwyth

 

Figure 6: Plot showing backscatter ratio with contours of water vapour mixing ratio.
