Evaluation of Compact Elastic Depolarization CE376 Lidar and Application to Mobile Observations of Smoke

Key Points

This work aims to assess the aerosol typing capabilities of the compact CE376 lidar compared to reference systems.
Utilized a dual-wavelength lidar system, CE376, for aerosol observations.
Conducted comparisons with a reference Raman lidar during dust and dust-smoke events.
Implemented mobile measurements near smoke sources as part of the FIREX-AQ campaign.
Demonstrated effective aerosol typing capabilities of the CE376 lidar for both dust and dust-smoke mixtures.
Showed that the compact lidar can provide continuous observations comparable to high-power systems.

Abstract

This work presents the aerosol typing capabilities of a compact, dual-wavelength lidar, CE376, as complementary observation system to reference high-power, Raman lidars. Comparison against a reference Raman lidar is shown for a dust case and a dust-smoke mixture, as well as results from a mobile campaign, FIREX-AQ, near smoke sources, to demonstrate the capabilities of such compact lidar for continuous observations and for mobile measurements.
