Abstract

Aerosols exhibit wide range of size distributions and compositions which affect their scattering properties. Measurement of a scattering parameter, in this case lidar backscatter, can provide information about the aerosol properties. Atmospheric sulfate aerosols, in particular, are of extreme importance to climate and environment (Charlson et al, 1990). Their impact, however, has only been approximately parameterized, emphasizing a need to determine aerosol properties more accurately.
