Abstract :
27 months of systematic lidar measurements of aerosol backscatter and extinction have been performed since May 2000 in Tito Scalo (Potenza) (Southern Italy, 40°36´N, 820 m a.s.l.) in the frame of the EARLINET project. A statistical analysis on the backscatter properties in the UV of tropospheric aerosols has been performed and presented.
