Title :
Lidar Methods for Studying Asian Dust Phenomena

Abstract :
Continuous observations of Asian dust are performed with a network of two-wavelength Mie-scattering lidars. The data are used for validation/assimilation of dust transport models. A polarization lidar using two wavelengths, and a Raman lidar detecting quartz contained in dust particles were newly developed for studying characteristics of Asian dust.
