Abstract

Vertical profiles of biomass burning aerosol parameters, such as effective radius, volume density and the complex refractive index, during forest fire in North America in August 2013 are studied. Aerosol extinction and backscattering coefficients measured at multiple wavelengths by Raman lidar based on tripled Nd:YAG laser are inverted to the particle microphysical properties.
