      Data productWind; extinction coefficient; aerosol concentration; visibility; cloud heightExtinction coefficient; visibility; PM10; PM2.5; depolarization ratio
      AdvantageWithout geometric factor; eye-safe; high sensitivity; high time resolutionVisible light; closer to human visibility
      DisadvantageSecondary data acquisition time; invisible light; data conversion requiredLong acquisition time; not eye-safe; blind zone; geometric factor correction required

      2022/3/30Overcast and rainy day(b)Congruent; during precipitation events (21:00-0:00), data from CL were missing, while AL continued, although its reliability is not high due to the rain
      2022/4/5Foggy day(c)Propinquity; the data gaps between 0:00 to 9:00 in AL may be caused by geometric factors
