Measurement of Extinction Coefficient of Near-surface Aerosol by CCD Lidar in the Daytime
Atmospheric aerosol extinction coefficient vertical profiles of near-surface in Hefei western suburb were measured by a CCD lidar system in the day and night, which could fill the gap of the traditional Mie-scattering lidar system especially in the blind area and overlapped region. By comparison of the aerosol extinction coefficient retrieved by Mie-scattering aerosol lidar and CCD lidar at night, the reliability of the CCD lidar system was verified, and the daytime detection of the CCD lidar system was feasible. Profiles of atmospheric aerosol extinction coefficient for 10-180 m altitude were obtained with high spatial resolution, of which the highest resolution was up to 1 cm. Two cases of aerosol extinction coefficient profiles showed that the aerosol extinction coefficient was not monotone decreasing in vertical direction, at the same time, changed violently in the day. The spatio-temporal evolution of aerosol extinction coefficient retrieved by CCD lidar showed that the overall aerosol had a tendency to reduce as the day getting dark. The daytime detection of aerosol extinction coefficient profile by using CCD lidar is credible and fulfilled.
