Key Points

This research aims to quantify the vertical concentration of biomass burning aerosols using lidar observations from the 2023 wildfire season.
Utilized multi-wavelength Mie-Raman-polarization-fluorescence lidar for data collection.
Recorded a long time series of transported biomass burning aerosols from Canadian wildfires.
Developed a method to estimate volume and mass concentrations from lidar observations.
Derived aerosol profiles showed good consistency with airborne measurements.
Volume and mass concentration profiles were validated against model simulations.

Abstract

During the unusually long wildfire season in 2023, the multi-wavelength Mie-Raman-polarization-fluorescence lidar recorded a long time series of transported biomass burning aerosols. With these observations, we obtained a comprehensive dataset about the optical and microphysical properties of BBAs. In this study, we present a method for estimating BBA volume/mass concentrations from lidar observation. The derived profiles of volume and mass concentration show good consistency with airborne measurements and model simulations, respectively.
