Lidar signal simulation for the evaluation of aerosols in chemistry transport models

We present an adaptable tool, the OPTSIM (OPTical properties SIMulation) software, for the simulation of optical properties and lidar attenuated backscattered profiles (<i>β</i>') from aerosol concentrations calculated by chemistry transport models (...
