Impact of aerosol hygroscopic growth on retrieving aerosol extinction coefficient profiles from elastic-backscatter lidar signals
Light detection and ranging (lidar) measurements have been widely used to profile the ambient aerosol extinction coefficient (<i>σ</i><sub>ext</sub>). The particle extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio, LR), which strongly depends on the aerosol dry particle number...
