Abstract :
In recent years, the change of the tropospheric aerosols and its effect on the radiative forcing is one of the current issues in atmospheric science. Especially in Asia the area is considered as the region where the emission of anthropogenic aerosols rapidly increases. Thus the observation of atmospheric aerosols has a great importance for understanding the trend and the role of the tropospheric aerosols and predicting the effect. We mention our lidar observation for the tropospheric aerosol monitoring and introduce the current status of lidar monitoring activity in Japan.
