摘要
A new aerosol lidar system was deployed on the NASA DC-8 in May-June of 2003 and was used to measure the aerosol profiles in the California Central Valley. The lidar operated at 532 and 1064 nm at a PRF of 20 Hz. The resulting aerosol profiles were plotted in a unique three-dimensional format that allowed the visual observation of the aerosol profiles, the valley topography, and the corresponding backward trajectory air masses. The accumulation of aerosols can be seen in the southern end of the valley due to topography and winds.
