Abstract:

Tropospheric aerosol extinction was profiled by a polarization-Mie lidar before and after a rainy weather system and a snow weather system, respectively. It can be seen that both rainfall and snowfall can clean aerosol particles in the atmosphere from the variation of aerosol optical thickness and the proportion of coarse particle before and after the special weather system. The result shows that snowfall is better than rainfall to flush aerosol particles.

Key words: atmospheric optics, lidar, aerosol, optical properties
