Autonomous Retrieval of Cloud and Aerosol Properties from ARM Micropulse Lidar

Flynn, Connor Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Micropulse Lidar (MPL) have been a core component of ARM active remote sensing for more than a decade. To date, autonomous value-added products developed from the MPL have focused strictly on determination of cloud base and cloud boundaries. We present results from ongoing efforts to produce additional autonomous value-added products from the MPL systems including thin cloud optical depth, cloud extinction-to-backscatter ratio, depolarization ratio, aerosol detection, and retrieval of aerosol extinction and lidar ratio.

This poster will be displayed at the ARM Science Team Meeting.
